Patch Request: Viper Diva - En Y (Lead)

Excellent! Distortion is so interesting. Sometimes you don't know how a patch's sound is going to differ from distortion-to-distortion until you try it. Good work.

Quick update: I just used Serum to try to recreate it (12 voices on both osc, MG Low 24 Filter cutting off at about 6K) and I was getting really close. What gave it the characteristic sound was when I post processed with Ableton's stock Overdrive, boosting the 1K region with its filter and then an EQ hi passing at 100 hz with a Drum Buss right after for good measure. Thanks again Joe!

Thanks so much as always Joe, you're a legend. I appreciate the level of detail, I'll go ahead and give this a try in Serum and maybe Spire. These techno producers that made the track tend to use a lot of analog gear, so I may even try Ableton's Analog out.

Try this:

Oscillators: Two osc, both saws, with really big unison: As many voices as you can (I went with 12), just enough detune to smear it, and narrow width. Set the second osc down one octave.

Noise: Layer in some white noise. You don't need much. Just to give it some more "wash".

Filter: 24 dB Lowpass. Lower the cutoff just a bit to take off some top edge. Crank the drive if it's available to really saturate and add body. Bit of res to shape the sound.

LFO 1: Descending saw wave, routed to pitch, very slow rate.

LFO 2: Route to amp to create the note pattern. This would require a custom shape, like a narrow pulse width wave, with an extra little pulse at the end.

Distortion: Crank this to give it that dirty edge.

Reverb: Big size, just a little wet.
