Patch Request: Drexciya - Wavejumper (Lead)

Patch / Preset Recreated

I’ve been trying to make a bank of Detroit electro and techno patches for my Sequential Rev2 and this patch has me stumped.

It’s the windy breathy sounding lead synth at 0:45.

This one is deceptively tricky! Try starting with this:

Two Oscillators: Both Sine waves. Pitch the second one up an octave and make it a little louder than the first.

Noise: Add some white noise. Pretty aggressive amount so it's a noticeably prominent part of the sound.

Filter: This is for the noise, since the Sine waves don't have mids or highs to be filtered. Low Pass 24 dB. Bring the Cutoff down a bit, boost the Res a bit, and increase Key Tracking enough to get a balanced brightness across the key range.

Distortion: Bring enough to bright it back up a bit and make it aggressive.

Reverb: Just a little Wet, but a huge room for that long reverby tail.

Unison: 2-voice, medium Detune to give it some intensity. You could also just double and detune each oscillator.

Pitch Bend: I hear some pitch bend on only the really high note, so I'm guessing this is added manually with the pitch wheel.
