Patch Request: Eskmo - Riding (Lead)

Cool patch! You can hear a brighter version of it a few seconds before which is helpful in figuring it out. Try this:

Oscillator

• Waveform: Saw
• Unison: Four voices with Detune turned up enough to make it a little aggressive. 50% Width/Spread.

Filter:

• Type: Lowpass
• Slope: 12 dB
• Cutoff: Turn down until you get the right amount of roundness.
• Res: Bring it up a bit to shape the sound and make it poke out a bit
• Drive: If available, boost it heavily to bring in some serious warmth. This will also be achieved with a warm distortion (see below) so if you don't have Drive, it's ok.

Amp Envelope

• Description: A quick horn shape.
• Quick Attack around 100 ms. This creates the horn-like attack. If your synth allows you to set the curve of the attack stage, make it so that it's not perfectly straight but instead dips down in the middle a bit. Often referred to as "exponential". This helps create the very sudden "swoop" attack
• Sustain: 0
• Very fast Decay/Release: 60 ms

Distortion

• Type: Tube-style. Something warm.
• Drive/Amount: Pretty heavy. Between this and the Filter Drive you want a sound that's warm, and also breaks up a bit. Kind of dirty. This may be achieved with one or both, but I found a combination sounds nice.

Reverb

• Size: Medium. Like a small Hall.
• Wet: Wet enough to be heard, but not so wet that it consumes the sound. Reverb from a distance
• Dampening: Bring down the highs a bit to create a round and warm reverb

Voicing

• Mode: Mono
