Filter distorted hypersaw-lead in Virus TI?

[Euphorizer]

That sounds absolutely nothing like the original.

always when i read you name i must lough!
i have no sub layer as you can hear

It has nothing to do with the sub layer mate

havent listened to your's so can't comment on the similarities etc but try rolling the cutoff back a bit to ease the saturation of the digital distortion, also eq on the virus will help give the sound more definition

That's the thing.. I'm not trying to achieve the exact same sound as him, but the digital filter saturation ALWAYS sounds like its too much, glitchy, crispy, clipping.. however I can explain it.

NO MATTER how much I roll of on the cutoff. I've tried to highcut the sound aswell, but it just sounds dull and booring then.

I'm just wondering how he can get the really clean sound out of that digital filter saturation without it clipping. That's all. Because I certainly cannot.

Dno, I gave it a quick try with my TI1 Desktop. Sounds pretty much the same as your lead, meaning those clipping artifacts can still be heard.

Exactly this.. so it's probably processed in another way. Thus the highcut doesn't really help here..

Should be one of the following:

# Too much detune / vibrato / whatever (my bet goes on this)
# Less reso on the filter
# More high cut before distortion
# Simply too much distortion

Besides that the sound pretty much sounds like the HHz one

BTW: Even tho Willem's sound is very clear... Don't care too much about those artefacts. They won't be noticable that much after post processing (reverb does the job).

Not really, since the reverb is sidechained aswell. I've tried and those artifacts DOES come through the whole mix. Even after layering. It just adds some grit to the sound.

what I did to temper down the digital artifacts was to add a rectifier distortion on top of it, adding some treble and highcutting it using its parameter to the right of the treble knob. This made the sound abit softer, but still clipping abit.

Quick try with 3xOsc, ended up pretty good. Original is still more punchier, wider and cleaner heh

tried to remove the detuning almost all of it, but didn't really make a big difference. The LFO linked to the pitch doesn't make it distort.
