More Synth Id'ing

[Chiwalker]

I know that I have had a lot of these questions in the past, but I thought I was getting good at recreating synths until this god of a sound came through my headphones - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk4R_aBWs3g&feature=related

I know synth1 isn't capable of this no matter how many times I layer it...but I am considering buying Vanguard which I have gotten pretty close to this with the demo.

Anyone with better ears and experience think they can pick apart and ID this sound?

Lots of layered saws with very fast LFO modulating pitch.

Instead of just layering, consider including panning and EQ.

Try Sylenth1.

It's the typical JP8000/Virus supersaw, nothing special.

A little layering wouldn't hurt. It also sounds slightly detuned. You'll probably need a Gate effect to fully realize that sound.

How would you go about (specifically) making this with panning and EQ, I really dont know

And is Sylenth1 something you would suggest?

[Yoozer]

No, because it's rather expensive for its complexity (though it sounds pretty good). Rob Papen's Predator would probably be a better choice (and more versatile). Sylenth1 has as main advantage that each oscillator can go into unison mode itself, and it's got a pretty good bandwidth and nicer filters than Synth1.

As for panning: you take like 4 channels of Synth1 that each have the same patch (you probably want to switch off effects) - each detuned a bit (consider -5 -15 and +5 +15).

You pan the -5 and +15 hard left and the +5 and - 15 hard right. Then you put an EQ on the -5 and +5 and take away a bit of low and boost a bit of mid-high. There's a zillion combinations thinkable.

By spreading it like that you could get more depth in your sound than mere unison spread on a pair of oscillators would get.

I BLAME YOU! I BLAME YOU on the hours alone I am about to spend in my room trying out all of these zillion combinations...I thought I was addicted already O_O

But seriously, thank you so much for you help - that is exactly the kind of technique I needed!
