Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

I've been in that situation. I find its best not to make a lead, just work with the stuff you got, use some chords/arps filter them in/out, soem effects here and there. Eventually it'll come to you mate.

specific sound or actual pattern ?

Honestly man, you just have to keep plugging away at it. I encounter this situation frequently, and sometimes you just have to keep trying until you find something that works. Sometimes I find it helps to shelve the track for a period of time and then return to it so you can gain a fresh perspective.

I think you simply just ran out of ideas, I'd close the track for a day or 2 and go listen to some new music. You might hear something you like and get an idea.

Loop a phrase and improvise with synths until you get something that sounds usable, that's how I do it.

The groove is too underestimated these days.

man, this happens to me all the time: i always have emphasis on the bass and percussion, lead always gets organised last, so i often run out of ideas...

if you have a chord progression down, just work on variations of it until something sounds good..
