what synth is this from Jon O'Bir?

https://www.yousendit.com/transfer....0eDNPSHhjR0E9PQ

This is a sample from Jon O'bir - Ways and Means.

I initially thought it was Vanguard, but now I'm not so sure. Does anyone know?

Cheers.

That could literally be anything...

It might be V-Station...but I dont know how you would program it? Does anyone know?

This synth could probably be anything from 3OSC to a Virus

NO its none of those. Its definately analogue. from its smooth warmth, I'd guess a Moog or possibly ARP 2600.

Moar Analog

Does anyone know how to program it? Or program a sound that is like it? kitphillips? anyone?

Cheers.

I didn't even listen to the sample, I was just being a dick.

But, now that I have, its clear that theres a whole stack of noise behind it, then an upper gated pad (probably PWM I'm feeling, lots of unison) then the rolling bassline comes in - I'd use FM synthesis for the rolling bass. THe sounds aren't that special, its the arrangement, where the upper synth is moving in parralel motion with the bass. Theres also a lot of tweaking going on with the filters there.
Right before the drums come in for example; he's high passed the bassline, he does the same thing on the high pad right before he introduced the bassline.
To create these sounds you really just need to tweak around a bit...
Theres also another couple of elements that are hard to pick out, one of them is a woody sounding arp sitting behind the higher pad at the beginning, this sounds really high passed and isn't that important IMO..
I'm just guessing at most of this really.

Its a multilayered lead, there are several synths behind it.

Although a supersaw is more original than this lead these days.

Anything more specific? I think its got some PWM, but its also got some sort of glassiness on another oscillator, I just can't remember what technique gets that sound, is it phase modulation? It gets that bitey sort of nastiness as you open the filter on it...

FM

You could do it with FM, but I think you'd get better results out of ring modulation or phase maybe...
