Synthesizing lead tone like in metal


 Share

Recommended Posts

God, I love seeing some dude wail on a keytar in a metal band. Candy red too!

It sounds like a saw wave with a square envelope. It also has a dramatic pitch bend range and it also is a solo patch with a quick portamento setting.

There are ways to get that fatter sound depending on the way you can route your wave forms (to get harmonics and octaves) and also combining different waves with different Lo or Hi pass filters.

If your synth archetecture in whatever you're using lets you do these things, then I would suggest fiddling around with it more with some direction from other users--sometimes the best way to become familiar with your equipment is to emulate what you hear with it using only your own gut as guidance.

You learn a lot when you do it like that.
