Hi, I'm looking for a way to reproduce the pitchless synth "shimmer" sound heard on Pink Floyd or Roger Waters's "The Thin Ice", from "The Wall". You can hear it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEgPxB8yLXQ - right at the beginning (0:06), the sound that accompanies the piano chords.
I understand it must be noise with an LFO on the filter envelope, and any synth will be able to make it, but I've never been able to understand the mechanism correctly. If anyone can explain to me how this kind of sweep is made, thank you very much. Note: This was originally made on a Prophet-5 so directions for it are welcome too)

It sounds like a synth with a very narrow bandpass filter at high resonance. Filter envelope with fast attack, slow decay.

The video you linked isn't quite the original sound, but that's the gist of both of them. I'd probably use a sawtooth wave configuration with a second sawtooth mixed in a fifth (7 semitones) above the fundamental to get started.

Thank you. Still not there yet but it's interesting.

Hello Nord expert, I'm looking for the same sound. I tried to patch sound without success. Somebody with a lot experience could built this sound?

not sure I am aiming at the right target...but here it goes.
