Hi
Do you maybe know where this lead sources from? Yes, that overused sound you are all familiar with. Is there some very very similar preset in some Virus or another gear? I mean "Hands Up 1" from Nexus leads, also called as "Cosmo" - from DJ Cosmo or Cosmic Gate maybe? Similar used by Manian too.
Maybe in some Schleis presets packs? I previewed some for Virus but not all.
I managed to recreate very similar sound in Sylenth1 with two heavy modulated sawtooth layers shifted in phase.

Please don't say its simply JP8000 :-) I am looking for something almost identic. It's probably more than just a 8000 supersaw. It could be heavy layer too.

I created that patch almost 20 years ago. I have originally programmed it on a Virus B... its a simple 2 osc sound, but with some special fast LFO modulation. And yes, Manian used it very often.

Thanks Manuel for clarification :-)
Is the preset included in some preset packs?
