Well.. A while back I tried remixing Infinitum just for fun, and I came up with this as a remake for that intro bit:
https://soundcloud.com/mushroomizer/infinitum-intro-remake-20/s-SbitWIt's a bit too tinny, and is nowhere near crushed enough, but hopefully you'll find it useful!
Basically, it's done with both sylenth and massive. In sylenth you have 2 saw oscillators with 8 voices each, also each with different amounts of stereo just to create a nice atmospheric effect. Apply a lowpass filter and set the cutoff to about 132-ish hz, and modulate the cutoff by an LFO at 1/16th. Also put the filter control's cutoff at about 90hz to make it all soft and nice.
From there, put on an arpeggiator make sure the mode is Chord and the velocity is Key. Then just make it timed at 1/16 and the gate at 100 and you're done. Add a little bit of eq and compression if you want to be fancy, but then that's basically it.
The Massive instance creates the plucks on top. So just set all the oscillators to saw waves, add 8 voices, some white noise, delay, reverb. All the usual supersaw stuff. The thing that makes them plucky is to add a scream filter with the cutoff modulated a bit by a saw wave LFO. Set the LFO's timing to 1/16th and you're done!
Sorry if all of the above made absolutely no sense. I'm pretty new with Sylenth, and I'm pretty bad when it comes to explaining stuff in general. So if you need clarification on something then ask away!
Stay awesome, Mush
