Hi.I'm very troubled about Avicii's pluck sound.It appears 3:26.
Already tried any presets as possible in Sylenth1, Nexus2, but no sound could fit in it...
If u guys have an idea, please give me any advice!!

Avicii's :

Sounds like a percussive marimba type sound. Most physical modelling VSTs (eg Chromaphone, Kaivo - and no doubt free ones too) should be able to tackle it

With Sylenth1 for the lead and Logic's piano and marimba for the chords. When it comes to the lead that's a very simple one wiht pitch mod to make a "hard" attack, if you search through my posts here I think I already gave a tip to do this with Sylenth1 (I think I learned this from someone here as well ! lol)

For the chords I'm sure most DAWs come with a very basic piano and marimba preset like Logic. I see that you have Nexus, I'm sure there are lots of pianos in this.
If you want the midi file I can send it !

well, I appreciating your challenge, but it seemed some sounds are lacked.
from Avicii's playing, i can catch some percussive sound, and high layered melody.
but your try is very helpful! thanks :)

This is my try..but i can't express neither of two sounds..:(

Remember that it's a live preview and some instruments and effects might sound differently in the actual Avicii song when he releases it.
I think he already used a similar marimba style sound in True Believer and Talk To Myself - maybe you could try to remake these ones instead ;)

Thank u for replying!
Exactly some instruments were changed when he released this in UMF 2016, but this pluck sound were still the same.
and this pluck sound seems quite different from True Believer and Talk to myself.
I really want to express this sound..anyway thanks :D
