What is this sound in the intro? Any idea how to reproduce it (Serum/Vital/Omnisphere/other)?
Loreen - Tattoo, synth sound intro?

Ramp (down) lfo on filter cutoff, LFO speed hi to low. Under it is a pretty standard detune saw.

Thank you for the input. I’ve tried your suggestions in several instruments, but not been able to get close. I’m getting something simular, but far from that ”hollow, platic tube-like” sound. I after the sound itself, not the way it is played. I’m relatively new to sound design and trying to learn. I have a few questions and would be grateful if you could elaborate a bit? Why lfo and not an envelope (the Filter envelope)? I’m not sure what you mean by lfo speed hi to low. TIA!

The "hollow, plastic tube-like" sound is probably done using a comb filter and a multiband compressor to emphasize the midrange and making that character louder.
It seems quite difficult to get exactly same sound. I got somewhat similar sound in Serum using
Unison saw -> Cmb HL6+ comb filter -> MG Low 18 filter -> Multiband compressor.
And plucky envelopes modulating volume and the filters.
The exponential rhythms can be done quite easily by automating arpeggiator rate, or by drawing the MIDI notes. You could do it also using LFO inside the synth, like tehlord was suggesting. There are many Youtube videos explaining alternative ways to do it.
