    I did a quick example: https://instaud.io/40Vu

    What you need to learn is stacking saw waves (and other oscillator shapes) on top of each other, detuning/unisoning them and maybe spread them out (to create a wide sound). You can also stack in different octaves. You can also add noise oscillator, to "fill out the spectrum" and make it even more fizzly/bright/clear.
    To make a pluckier supersaw you can assign a lowpass filter on the oscillators and control it (cutoff) with an envelope, where you set the envelope attack, decay, sustain and range to taste.

    I used Spire and the free/open source Surge for the supersaws.

    I figured he was talking about the pluck based on the rhythm of his provided sample, but maybe I was smoking something (I was).

    Thanks!
    I could just hand you the presets, but I'd rather give some clear pointers on how to synthesize the sound yourself (so that you also learn subtractive synthsis). ;)
