How is this lead made? Which kind of synthesis is this? Is this square or saw based? I don't know where to start to make a sound like that.
Would be nice if somebody could explain how to make such a sound in Fruity. An audio demo of the result would also be nice. Thanks! |

| look up magical8bitplug. that's it just use a square wave and throw on some effects. |

Pretty sure its a supersquare..
as for what kind of synthesis , its most probaly subtractive , and ANALOG. |

I agree with noicuc, but here's a half-ass attempt using magical8bitplug. It's just got overdrive, reverb, and a thing called soundgoodizer. [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
It's not absolutely terrible I guess. I kind of did 4 different sounds, it's pretty obvious if you hear the sample. Also I didn't feel like figuring out the bass for the second part. I just did the same thing at a lower octave. |

| does this use hard sync? Doesn't hard sync make these kind of.. hard sounds or does hard sync has nothing to do with this? |

i don't know what hard sync is so no I didn't use it. I actually made a better one, I played around with the adsr to make it sound more like the song. It's the same sound and effects as before but with a tweaked adsr. Definitely sounds closer to the song: [[ LINK REMOVED ]]

Thanks for the upload.. doesn't sound bad..
now, I don't use magical8bitplug, so could you please explain step by step how you made it so it can be done with any synth, like did you start with a square and so on (and what's a "supersquare".. i know a supersaw but supersquare??
also, did you layer 4 sounds for that sound, cause you say you made 4 sounds or something?
thanks!
ps: if anybody else has advice to make this sound even better, please let us know.. |

a supersquare is pretty much the same thing as supersaw...a bunch of square oscillators detuned with each other...
you can even make a supersine...if you care for that kinda sound... |

Well I don't know about other synths but I guess if the synth your using has a plain square wave then go for it. Still I recommend magical8bitplug since it's free and it's cool for squares and saws. you can get a cool retro sound. I think it can make noise too, I'm not sure. And no I didn't layer 4 squares, it was just one but I made it sound 4 different ways with soundgoodizer. I think you have to buy FL 8 to get it. Of course if you're a thieving, morally backwards, scum-of-the-planet pirate (like me) you can get it free of charge. |

"soundgoodizer"
I think ill have to get my 7 year old fruity + lifetime update thing fixed again just to have something on my system called a "soundgoodizer", that is full of win. |
