For a softer, less intrusive lead, you'll want to decrease the Frequency a bit on your synth. to make up for the lack of definition, also add a compressor at about 4:1, low threshold, fast attack and make the attack on the synth faster too. You can also muddle about with the Resonance for some extra meat to your sound, so it doesn't sound dead and faded.
You want to have fast attack, medium to low decay, medium to low sustain, and fast release for a lead that is "clicky" and arpeggiated. the lead for Swing 2 Harmony is heavily delayed and reverbed, but the inital note is very punchy.
if you're looking for a softer, maybe padded sound that's a lead but doesn't need quick changes, then increase the sustain, slow down the attack a bit and put on some slower release . you'll get more drawn out notes that are suitable for background pads or maybe some slower leads.
