Hey before i get blazed for this.. i have searched.
I thought it might have been a common question but honestly didnt find anything.
Anyway. Im really loving that lead sound in BT's "Flaming June" but cant figure out how the patch was made.
At first it seems easy. Some kind of square wave with a fast lp filter envelope. But i cant get it the same.

Not that im trying to remix the original track or anything, its just for my own synth programming geekery :cool:
So does anyone have any tips or know anything about the track? Was it ever published what synth was used or found to be a preset? |

Are you referring to the plucked synth intermittent diad lead or the arpeggiated mono lead?
The intermittent diad is most prominent, so I'd try two saw oscillators set an octave apart with the lower one more prominently amplified and have the attack on both filter and amp set to nil with a mid to high decay, lower sustain and a medium release - medium release on the filter would be set slightly lower to provide some contouring.
Fine pitch adjustment for the oscillators would be set to equal out depending on the volume of their relationship so that if you had 2/3's of the sound coming from the lower oscillator, the pitch would be lowered about 2 cents, while the higher pitched oscillator would be raised by about 4-5 cents. - giving depth to the harmonics without causing it to sound too flat or sharp.
I'd expiriment between a very mild LP and band-pass filter and if you have a synth with one, even try formant.
The arpeggiated mono lead sound more like a square wave-form, to me. |

Thanks
Yeah i should have said it was the plucked lead.
I'll give that a try with the saw waves, i was sure it was squares because of the hollow sort of timbre. BP filter is something that crossed my mind actually. I'll give that a try and see
By the way. What is a intermittent diad? Ive never heard that before |

I called it intermittent because a chord wasn't played, continuously, as a diad. The diad simply refers to the interval (any number of steps) between two notes being played, simultaneously. |

nord lead, eventually with a slight chorus, and a SC gated reverb (like a 16ths sequence).
That should do the trick |
