A bright, cutting synth lead with a slightly robotic and metallic edge. The sound is relatively simple, but very present and memorable.

Production Credits

Producer: Styx

Signal Chain

Instrument: Oberheim OB-Xa

Recording Notes

  • The Oberheim OB-Xa was likely used to create the lead synth sound.
  • The exact patch settings would determine the final tone. Experiment with sawtooth and pulse waves, filter cutoff, and resonance to get closer.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth wave and a slightly detuned square wave.
  • Use a resonant low-pass filter to shape the tone.
  • Add a touch of chorus or flanger for width and movement.
  • Adjust the filter envelope and LFO to create a dynamic and expressive sound.
