Creating a Hard-Sync Lead
Sequential
Adding Effects to the Lead
You can enhance the sync lead by adding some delay and reverb.
To add a delay effect:
1. In the effects section, press the effect 1 button.
2. Use the type knob to select delay.
3. Set time to 12 o’clock.
4. Set depth/mix to 10 o’clock.
5. Set feedback/misc to 10 o’clock.
6. Play some notes. Perfect hard-sync lead!
A Final Word
The examples given here are fairly basic, but they give you some idea of
the power of synthesis. Imagine what you can create by using these as
starting points, then modulating the lters, oscillators, and even effects
with LFOs, Envelopes, and other modulation sources.
It’s often useful to start with a simple sound and make it progressively
more complex, while saving edited versions as you go so that you can
retrace your steps and branch off at different points in the sound design
process if you want.
