Lovely synths that sound like strings being strummed.
TL;DR Does anybody have any idea how to make this sound in other synths?
This is a slightly modified preset in a synth I have called Dune by Synapse.
The way that strumming is made in this particular synth is with the arpeggiator; specific notes are sequenced in each slot, and then the rate is tempo-synched and very fast: The first bar in the above example is 128th notes, the second bar is 64th notes, and the last bar of the above example is in 32nd triplets. Massive's Stepper does not seem to have these capabilities.
Also, if you'll notice, each step in the arpeggiated sequence has its own individual amp envelop, which makes it sound more realistic. I don't think Massive has this capability either in its Stepper.
So once again, is it possible to replicate this sound in other synths?
