Recently I "discovered" this song. Imagine that´s what people call reggaeton and it´s not my business, but I like the synth sound in the beginning. As it´s not the first time I listen something similar, it´s supposed preset should be known. For the people who plays with presets and sound combinations, is this a popular preset or can somebody tell me the name or the synth belonging? I think is similiar to "Run the road" from Santigold, but everyone in it´s style.

Thanks in advance.

 

Those are plucks used as a rocksteady lead. You could find or make something like that in any wavetable synth or dig through some romplers like Nexus tbh.

Plucks are a staple in so many more synths than that, it's a very basic sound with a fast attack and fast release coming and fading very quickly which sound even better with delays.

 

For instance a Nexus preset similar to this?

 

Each and every other supersaw pluck in Sylenth1 and Spire has the same sonic quality. The keyword I think you are looking for is "supersaw", meaning stacked and detuned/unison'ed saws.

 

THE ONE Supersaw Antidotes For XFER RECORDS SERUM (sister site) has some supersaw presets that might fit what you're looking for.
They should need some tweakings before sounding like you want (they need to increase the attack, not to sound so plucky as they come programmed), but it is pretty sure some of them could fit your willing.
Besides this, that is a well known sound, sometimes I passed over it because it is not my kind of sound, too gritty and too synthetic, but I remember it from... here's the problem: can't tell, many vst, many presets... Too hard to remember. Anyway, any pack of new EDM presets set could bring something similar.
It somehow reminds me to this sound in this Talamasca's track (it is better appreciated after 4:05:

Wish you luck!

 

I can't remember if they had a plucks section or a lead section in Nexus but there were buttloads of plucked sounds in it which sounded exactly like your example.

If you wanted to make one yourself just use a saw oscillator with no attack and a short release with a decay setting where it suits you best in the ADSR Envelope section inside of whatever wavetable synth you like. Sustain doesn't matter much because a pluck sound by definition basically eliminates it out of the equation since it's such a transient based sound.

You can basically make any sound or oscillator a pluck by tightening the attack and release of the envelope so it fades out quick. Like this in Osc C below.

Sorry mate but I can´t run setup program under Windows 10.

 

Ofc you can. You can also run 32bit VSTis (in 64bit VST/VSTi only DAWS) by using jBridge.

 

SETUP program. Not plugin.

 

Run setup as admin.
Edit: Both these VSTi are dll-files anyway. You don't need any setup file. Just put them in the correct subfolder (or bridge them).

Back in the day we just dragged the VST [dll file] over into your vst folder.. then just run Bridge if 64..Not installation shit.

 

Hey guys, are you talking about the noisy (umm.. sort of flutey) lead at the beginning? If so I think that's in essence a square /w a fast lfo on fine tune. Usually layered with another squareish waveform and noise. It also has the short pitch dive env and it's mono /w porta..

.. but I could be totally off
