Hi,

eversince i heared this track, i loved the brassy sound in the beginning. But how is it done and how can i recreate it in pd? I am sorry for this rather banal question, but i am somewhat of a rooky in electronic music.

No one?

are you refering to the lead sound that carries the melody?

If so, a good place to start would be stacking slightly detuned saw-waves and trying some filtering.

I don't know how far into pd you are, but if you need to touch up on synth design, the obiwannabe tutorials are widely reccomended.

the first synth in that series is conveniently: detuned saw-waves with filtering

I have no idea what equipment Member of Mayday uses, but it sounds like detuned saws on either an analogue or virtual analogue synth. There may be some light chorusing, some light saturation, some light vibrato. There could even be a subtle pitch envelope, or a high-pass filter on a quick downward envelope, or it could simply be dynamic phase-cancellation inherent in stacked detuned saws. I don't think I hear any other waveforms in the lead sound.

Besides the lead, there's the low square sound and then the pad that falls in pitch a couple seconds in.
