Uh-oh... it's the classic trance arp sound.

The way I remember how to make it was to grab some saws, put the envelopes on the amp at a strong decay with a smaller amount of sustain. The filter should also have a steep decay. Don't forget to apply a tad of release to the envelopes otherwise it will sound too dry.

You might even be able to do the same thing with thinner pulse waves, or a combination of the two to achieve some more unique results.

Overdrive and distortion could play some minor roles in shaping the sound in some styles (especially if you want the EUro lead sound).

Some resonance or noise could be desireable as well.

Well, I've played around quite a bit with this. I can't seem to get the sound right.

Thanks for the suggestions, Four on Four....

to me, this sounds like pretty much standard supersaw, but half filtered, and with very very tight amp and filter decay envelopes
to sound pluck-ish to the point of being almost precussive in nature.

tho the supersaw might not really be that, it could be just few(3-5) saws stacked without too much detune.

Rapture can definitely recreate this sound almost exactly.

Yep, I agree. I made another sound during a creative process, and I stumbled on this type of effect. Like you said, its very short with tons of delay.

Thanks!
