How to make this lead?

[Whiteroom]

Hi

I'm trying to recreate lead from Ørjan Nilsen - Between The Rays (Original Mix)
in Zebra2.

youtube.com/watch?v=nrQZylE57y8 (2:42)

I tried already many ways but cant get it sound right.


Any tips?


Thanx

Anyone?


I think its square with some LFO modulation and some distortion added after LP filter but cant get it to sound so good.

It's a pulse wave + other stereo layers.. on it! brb

MW - a bit of timbre variation

For adjusting the fuzz, check out the OSC1 sync MMap1 mod. (osc phase/sync section)

make very subtle adjustments to EQ1 to finetune the tone.

I guess that the magic of the sound is from mixing fuzzy, wide reverb sends + tonal adjustments. so you have to do some experimenting.

Yes, basically pulse with low pass filter with relatively low cutoff and distortion on master section (or after the synth) so when there are two sounds from two notes play together, distortion is higher (noticeable on release stage during the attack stage of the next note).

Right now it is possible to use Shape3, compressor (strong, fast attack and release) or ZebraHZ (afaik there is XMF filter in the master section available) as distortion.

But I think Zebra needs good distortion module (not only soft shaping) in the master section.

Fast crude attempt (Zebra reverb. Try good external. Also used compressor as distortion. Try to switch it off and switch on shape3. Or use external distortion):

Thx for preset mate but it doesnt really sound so close to original, original is much more "squarish"

this is what i made so far but its still not too close

EDIT: sorry, misread your post.

OSC1 and 2 - to get a more "squarish" sound, just use the Wave parameter to dial the pulse back more to a square.

OSC1 sync control ... try nudging that parameter up a tiny bit to alter the timbre.

maybe also try a bit more drive with VCF1

The sound will come to life after skillful parallel mixing.
