The second lead

Does the second lead, have to always, have the same melodic rhythmic pattern as the first main lead?

kind of like Bruno Fergani Combined forces.


or could it be possible to get results , just by programing, a new rhythmic pattern(in the same scale) or would that effect the theme of the song
if you injected some variation to the main melodic line?

on the same subject of second leads ,is it wrong to introduce the second lead in the beginning of the song during a breakdown,or harmonizing with an arp.

and then re introduce this later in the tune,kind of like how Tiesto does on Adagio for Strings.


I know there is no right or wrong and there are no rules just wondering if some of these habits are traits of trance.

i use a different rhythmic pattern altogether for my second lead.
Mr.Mystery
Generally having a completely different secondary synth tends to add a certain depth to a track. If all your synths play the same pattern it's going to sound pretty shallow and dull.

Then again... if it sounds good, it sounds good.

Synchronicity
'Floyd - Come 2 Gether (radio mix)', 'Pulser - Cloudwalking (Original Mix)' IMO are great examples of combining riffs/melodies merged.

Cloudwalking's a bit repetitive but still worth checking out, maybe for some ideas or whatever;)
