Hi, can anyone tell me how to get the sound at 1.09 in this video. It is from the Mike Posner song "Please Don't Go" and it is labelled as the hook synth. Can I get this sound with a preset in sylenth or diva ?

 

The Bass is cool on this song as well. Here is a thread with people talking about how to make it if anyone is interested.

Found a preset very similar to this called Keys-Futuristic, in Serum. Setting is is Serum Presets Ultimate Collection.

 

To simplify it: Take a simple semi-short pluck. Put a freeware pitch-delay like ValhallaFreqEcho with a bit of delay-time and octave pitching (up), so that it becomes like an octave arp.

Actually, layer the pluck lead with a new synth that is one and two octaves above (stacked in time so it arps up), imitating that has some delay/latency on it, and then add some reverb on it (the "octaves synth").


Edit (alternatively): Maybe FreqEcho is both up+down pitch, which adds some weird microshift (ring-) modulation. If you want only up-shift, try the free Bubbler+
