Weird Automated Lead Thingy

Post by BlackDawn »

Hey guys! I was just listening to this track and was wondering how would one go about making a sound like that in the beginning. It reminds me of the main sound from Wildstylez-Soundstorm but anyways just like a basic idea for the design process would be nice. thanks! :p

It's all about the glide and LFO automation. You have to have legato enabled in whatever synth you are using, with a really, really high glide setting. What this will do, is when you overlap two notes, it will really slowly slide the pitch to the note that comes second. Idk if I explained that properly, and I'm not sure how much you know, but I hope you know how to use legato and stuff. Anyway, you have to have an LFO modulating the pitch at a semi-fast rate to give the lead that kind of 'stutter' effect. Then, at the times when the two notes overlap, for example at 0:05 in that video, you automate the LFO rate to increase as the pitch is sliding between the notes. That's how you get that particular effect like Soundstorm and the video you've posted.
