    DRIVING ME NUTSS!!! I'm obsessed with finding the preset used for the intro to this song. I've searched Omnisphere, Pigments, Serum & some Kontakt libraries like Analog Dreams & a few Imogen Heap libs..... The marimba like pluck is layered with a flowing water sound. You can hear the water being triggered with each new note in the pluck. I did find the Honer Guitaret in Omnisphere was "similar" & I did come across a flowing water sound in Omnisphere that was close too - but close doesnt cut it.... Anyone care to help me find THE PRESET.... Appreciate any interest & help.

    PS - The producer of this track has used Omnisphere in past productions for Ariana so I'm leaning on it being hidden somewhere in there... But there are sooooo damn many presets to scroll/preview through urghhhh

    the first 18 seconds? it doesn't actually seem like it is part of the pluck. you can hear just the noise re trigger almost immediately with no other note. the noise layer is triggered separately, is my guess. a long sample of rain with a layer of pink noise maybe? short release time.

    but if you know it is from some preset you have and want to place it, good luck ;]

    Not really helpful.. I can only confirm that you're right:
    E.g., "7 Rings" has an unaltered preset from Omni at the beginning. (I don't use Omni anymore though)

    Totally, I think you can do it perfectly with the RC-20. Play with the follow in the noise part and you got it:mates:

    Appreciate the input fellas.. Hopefully I'll stumble onto the actual preset one day. Looking through Massive X presets at the moment.

    Did you try checking Absynth 5 presets? Thats another $ soft synth that someone might be tempted to use a preset out of.

    annoying when you "know" where something is from like this, but can't put your finger on it. I get OCD with breakbeats like that.

    If I was you I would simply ask him ( tweeter maybe ) what preset or synth did they actually used for it. Creative people often like to talk about these things. :yes:

    I don't think that is a preset - the two sounds seem to have very different qualities to them.
    I think the pluck is a preset, and the separate water audio track has a subtle sidechain fx on it making it duck when you hear the pluck, which makes you think its being re-triggered.

    I still hold to the notion the water sample is contained within the pluck preset. There are plenty of presets within Omnisphere & Massive X where water samples are used in combination with another. I can clearly hear the decay of the water where it correlates with the release of the "plucky" sound...

    Appreciate the input, but I'm looking for the real deal... Chance it might be a custom preset, But my money is on that its an actual preset.

    found this one preset while working just now and it reminds me of this thread. It is a little brighter but has that almost bell plus watery sound at the back maybe need some filtering or something, give it a try

    Roland Zenology - BANK- SDZ004 Hyperwave (Z-Core), PRESET: 0008:Water HanPan

    have you tried to contact the "main" producer of this? it happened once, about a track from a big artist and the producer just replied me with the answer.

    No I haven't. Never should say never, but dudes who post pictures of their boob job wife on Instagram & don't remove stickers from their baseball hats typically don't reply to inquiries like these.

    if it only 5 secs to ask why not try it, it's not like it will make a huge difference in the time invested
