What sound is this??

Lane 8's got this gorgeous track, but I was curious to know what the main lead is. Sounds like some sort of guitar, but was wondering how to go about achieving it.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a simple pluck sound to me. in Sylenth you could do this by having a bunch of saw voices with retrig turned off, detuned slightly, lowpass filtered, and then put the cutoff of the filter on an envelope for the pluckier sound. If you want me to post a screenshot and example recreation, I can try to get it more precise

That would be awesome! I actually do use sylenth as my main soft synth.

Kk cool. It looks like I was wrong about the saw and detune level. Looks like it's square and half pulse

Whoa thanks so much! Sounds pretty spot on:
