Patch Request: Oneohtrix Point Never - Ships Without Meaning (Shimmering Synth)
Patch / Preset Recreated
I'm trying to get that shimmering synth sound as heard throughout the entire track. It sounds like it has some sort of fast modulation parameter, maybe pulse width modulation? I know this artist uses the Juno 60 and uses the pulse wave a lot. Also sounds like there is a legato effect on the synth. I'd appreciate any help.

These dense layered patches are always tricky. I hear two layers:
Layer 1: Shimmery pad
Oscillator: Medium pulse wave
LFO: Slow triangle modulating oscillator pulse width
Envelope: Slow attack to swell in
Filter: Low pass, take a bit off the top, add some resonance
Chorus: wide and warm
Reverb: Big and wet
Layer 2: Pitch-modulated video game
Oscillator: Square wave
LFO: Modulate the oscillator's pitch in an up-down motion. How you do this depends on the synth. In Serum, I use a triangle waveform to modulate the oscillator's Semi destination. This forces the modulation to jump up one semi-tone at a time, instead of moving the pitch smoothly.
Delay: 50/50 wet, long feedback, 1/4 or 1/8 note rate. This will create a nice blanket of overlapping sound.
Reverb: Big and wet
