Hey Everyone,

So this is a sound from Zedd - Stache, and it sounds like its just a filtered saw, but I have sat for the past hour running a saw wave through every type of filtering possible and can't get that timbre from this song. I know for a fact that Zedd used Sylenth1 for the sound, and that is the synth I am using to recreate it.

I'm sure its dead simple, but I'm quite new to synthesis, so I'd really appreciate a push in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

PS it's the lead synth doing sixteenth notes, not the quarter note bass running underneath.

Seriously nobody? It seems like such a simple sound. I know people on these forums have a bee in their bonnet about "how to get that sound" questions but please just point me in the right direction.

Thats a really complex sound. It changes a lot during the song. How do you get the idea that it is a simple filtered saw?

Well like I said I'm completely new to synthesis, till now I just used presets. From my very limited experience with synths, it sounds like the changes are made by the manipulation of a couple filters. Correct if I'm wrong ;)

Actually, I think the sound came from the plugin "ACE" by u-he and it's a preset called "HS Ace Ripper".

Wow thank you WayneOne, I just gave that a try and it was literally identical! It's amazing to me that I've owned ACE for two years now but because Zedd is known for using Sylenth I never thought to try to create that sound anywhere else, let alone to find that it was a preset.

Do you know what he is manipulating within ACE to create the sonic changes throughout the song? Because it sounds to me like the same synth throughout the song.

Thanks!

Jack :)

No sorry, can't help with that. Just play around with the settings and I think high- and low-cut filters, that should help you!

Glad I could help :)
