Im trying to make this cool guitar sort of lead (I use Massive btw). I got a pretty cool sound doing the following:

Three saw wave oscillators The first two detuned by three cents and a third an octave lower in which I also turn down the amp on somewhat. All going to two filters.

Filter 1 is a daft filter starting at slightly less than 12 o clock Filter 2 is a lowpass 4 filter starting at 12 oclock both filters have very smmall amount of resonance on it

enter image description here

Filters 1 and 2 have 1 envolope controlling modulation of about almost all the way with both resonances being raised as well. This envelope looks like the follwing

Amp envelope is the following:

Ive added some tube distortiona with a dimension expander to give it some more width and power. A bit of bitcrusher as well. Im getting a cool sound but I wanted something more of the sound seen here starting at 1:47

However I cant seem to get that cool wah effect. Its a great lead, would help me out alot in my education of sound design.

  • Sounds like only one 24 dB per octave filter with the resonance up maybe halfway. Then the filter envelope has a fast attack and a longer decay and either the envelope is not retriggered on legato notes or there's an LFO on the filter frequency or maybe a controller like the mod wheel is opening and closing the filter.

    yea thats whatll give you the wah. Seems like its going in the right direction. Ill play around with it see what I can get. I think you can just use a velocity to contoll the amount of envelope.
