    This song has a powerful sound playing the chords in the drop but I can't put my finger on what it is.
    It sounds like a combination of Square and Saw but when I tried to make it, it sounded weird.

    The drop starts at 1:45

    2 sawtooth OSCs and EQ to cut down the midrange.

    The filter's attack time is changing according to the lenght of the notes (the shorter the faster). This is either done by velocity or a controller automation.

    Thanks.
    Isn't there a square sound too ? Or something with a that gives off a retro video game vibe ?

    What about the lead? Is that using a pulse wave ?

    Sorry, don't know, it's ages ago that I made music with synths, but we have at least one true expert here. I'm sure he will show up, sooner or later.
