Hi all!
I was wondering if any of you have any inputs on sound design and how I can re-create those loverly modulating arps (see this video for what I'm after):

At 5:05

I have Spire, Sylenth1, Hive, and Diva to play around with. Hope anyone has any good tips on how to recreate these sounds

 

Well, sounds like pretty straightforward filter modulation, so figure out the arp that you want, then map filter cutoff, filter envelope amount, and filter envelope controls and play with those, using medium-high resonance.

 

A more accurate way would be controlling the lowpass cutoff, and only it, with velocity. Hive has a mod matrix that will do the trick.
Or a square LFO modulating the cutoff, as it seems to be the case in the example.
Or controlling the cutoff with a sequencer. Again, Hive can do that.
Either way, it's a lowpass cutoff.
As for the sound itself, it seem to be a bunch of unison triangle waves with some sync.

Velocity-controlled filter cutoff -> Autopanning -> delay/reverb could work. Seems pretty straight-forward.

Thanks, guys! Will test it out
