I need a specific "lead" sound... (youtube link att'd)

Post by taeheec »

Hey guys,

There's a lead solo part from this song that I want to copy. (from 3:45)

To me it sounds laid back, soft enough to be heard yet not too annoying.

I have a NL3 and also NE3. Can some of you give me some tips to achieve that sound? Thanks so much!

Great song. For some reason the chorus reminds me of Shanice's "I love your smile".

I think the sound is a sawtooth with a low pass filter with a very short attack and decay and loads of resonance (with the ADSR "sustain" kept low). Most of the character is given by the pitch controller and vibrato.
