Hi Hard to tell over my little laptop speakers, but I'd guess it's some king of audio frequency modulation (plus a bit of filter overdrive for good measure). I'm assuming that you know a little already about using LFOs to modulate pitch and filter cutoff etc. If you turn your LFO frequency up so high that it's in the audio frequency range and then modulate things with it, it does weird stuff. Instead of hearing it as modulation (vibrato or whatever), you get all sorts of extra frequencies generated. What gives these sounds their edge, is that the extra frequencies are very rarely pure harmonics of the note you're playing (they're called enharmonis partials). This is the basis on which Yamaha's FM synths (DX7 etc.) work. Try connecting the output of one oscillator to the frequency input of another and mess with the parameters to get an idea (but keep the volume low - you can make some real tweeter destroyers doing this).

Hope that helps The Luddite

it`s doubled with a little bell sound. but the raw lead sound is a sawtooth where the frequency is modulated with noise.

only.. three thing happening at once the best design to get close to all these sounds is a nord lead or a virus (only the lay out).

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
