I posted you a response. Check it out in the previous thread. It's the basics of a good pluck sound. There was a thread AWHILE back on pluck sounds from someone and that's where I got my information from. That warm character in the sound though is REALLY hard to obtain.

i always thought to make a warm pluck u would detune it or perhaps use a subtle chorus on it?
Yeah detuning is pretty much needed to get that thick sound to it. Chorus adds the stereo width along with some more detuning when using the right rate.
- One saw osc.
- Filter at 45%
- Filter Envelope at 40%
- Short filter decay, About 30-40% (0 Sustain)
- Apply quite alot of compression to the sound to make it snappy.
- EQ
- Delay
- Reverb
- More compression to make the delay "duck".
You might also want to enable unison or add chorus. But I didn't need to do it.
If you use Reason I can send you the patch.

Another way to make the sound more snappy is to make the filter decay convex by modulating the decay with the filter envelope in the mod matrix.
- One saw osc.
- Filter at 45%
- Filter Envelope at 40%
- Short filter decay, About 30-40% (0 Sustain)
- Apply quite alot of compression to the sound to make it snappy.
- EQ
