I have two lead synths in a program posted HERE. The synth on panel B would be better with a short release. The Nord flute sample in mono might add a nice touch as well. I hope this helps, good luck!

One last thing I need a synth sweep that is like the prophet 6

Given all of the new Stage 3 owners lately, I thought I'd post another program for some to learn from. Here's a program with the NS3 Master Clock synced to the LFO rate, arpeggiator rate, A-Pan rate, and Delay tempo. Panel A has a piano with delay, and a synth with A-Pan, Env Filter sweep (up and down), and LFO affecting the OSC1 and OSC2 X-Fade mix. Panel B has a synth with A-Pan, Env Filter sweep (down), LFO affecting the OSC1 and OSC2 X-Fade mix, and arpeggiator. The program uses a Control Pedal on both synths to adjust the levels.

After playing an initial chord in the demo, I start with the piano, bring up the Panel A synth with the control pedal, and then add the panel B synth (initially off when you load the program). I then switch on the arpeggiator on the Panel B synth to end the demo.

On their own, the Panel A and B synths can yield numerous variations on the sound just by selection of the OSC1 synth type and waveform used with the X-Fade. Panel A for example uses an OSC1 waveform with a harmonic that comes in and out at the LFO rate. Among other options, it's worth playing around with the OSC1 selection, pitch of OSC2, LFO waveform, and the OSC2 Ctrl. One can then move to checking out the parameters effected by the Master Clock and how they change as the rate/tempo knobs are turned but remain synced to the Master Clock. Take care.
