    I'm trying to recreate this synth particular sound used very often in the caribbean music (lately especially in the haitian Kompa Guyad style).

    https://vocaroo.com/1ja4I3TLyrou

    They say that the sound works better on a Yamaha ModX6/ModX8 or MOXF synth and that the presets are external banks sold for 60€ or $ from private individuals. :sad:

    To me it sounds like a preset that uses a Saw wave with one or two other sounds overlaid and that sound can be recreated.

    Is there any good keyboard player who recognises the sound and/or knows if it is present as a preset on a synth/plug or knows how to recreate it on a DAW/plugin (preferably with Logic)? :yes:

    That is a simple saw as you said use Serum two Saw Tables mess with detune and unison link modulation wheel to LFO envelopes and or other parameters. Alternatively any Synth wave sample pack with presets will have it. Youtube how to make synth wave sound in serum.

    For those interested: the caribbean Kompa Guyad style makes an extensive use of Mod Wheel and Pitch Bend... :wink:
