I hate asking this kind of question simply because it opens the door to the typical people saying things like "If you don't know then you have no business asking" or "I could make that in about 5 seconds.." but I'm really not sure where else to look. There's a track I've been listening to for a bit and it has a great (slightly retro) House synth come in at 42 seconds that plays throughout the track. I would love to replicate it and have some fun but have no idea where to start. https://soundcloud.com/pantheon_music/kronic-krunk-hey-ho-pantheon I have no idea what kind of synth is being used. Mono? FM? A combination of instruments? I own Nexus, Synthmaster and Spire (this is just a hobby but I like working with/owning professional tools) and hoped to find a preset for one of these instruments but couldn't find one that sounded like the track and I'm not familiar enough yet to customize the sounds myself. I was thinking of something xylophone like with a slight attack on it to start but am really just guessing here. I own Bitwig and, for all I know, it could reproduce it natively just using the built-in instruments. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If anyone's interested, here's the track I ended up making (based on that plugin/sound). It's my first track. Not at a professional level but I'm happy with it. I have no idea if this is appropriate (posting your own stuff). If so I apologize. http://soundcloud.com/stigwood/as-we-are-1
