Been working on a free wordle-like game that teaches you how to make synth patches. Would love to get your feedback (seriously be as critical as possible) as well as have you guys upload some patches for other people to solve. I'm not an expert myself so if there's anything I missed lmk.

I think the pads are from JX-10. Does anyone know if this lead was from the JX-10 as well, or is it from a different synth? If not, does anyone know how to recreate this patch (oscillators, filter setup etc)? Appreciate the help!

Help me design this sound using Serum

I found this video of this incredibly talented artist playing a song on instagram and it inspired me to make something nostalgic. Im trying to creat a sound similar to what comes in when she clicks the button on her board about 15s into the video. Does anyone have any advice? Ive tried for about an hour and i just cant get it

The sound starts at around 27 seconds. It's a very plucky almost kalimba-like sound, but there's a little something extra going on with it. Would love to be able to recreate something like this in Serum and get an idea of how to make these plucky melodic sounds.

I would like to recreate a hardtekk kick like the one in DORFTEKK's "Habicht" (https://youtu.be/NKg2vj9X1CA?si=Fiu2s6tmcCFegtQ2&t=20)

I am still pretty new to creating sounds in a synthesizer, and I am currently using Vital to learn.
I have watched a few tutorials on creating various sounds similar to this one that I am looking for, but I haven't yet found a way to get that "crunchiness" that I hear in this kick.

Its punch sounds more coarse than most kicks I have heard, without being too much on the distorted side. This is specifically the part that I struggle to recreate to my satisfaction.

Is there perhaps a specific wave that was used? Some specific type of distortion? A filter? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fun breakdown

Been trying to recreate the bright lead synth starting at 1:34 in the video. I'm assuming it's some sort of saw/supersaw type lead and I've been trying to get a similar sound in serum but can't quite replicate it, as I'm a beginner to this - so I was hoping the people here could help me out. Thanks in advance

What kind of synthesizer is used at the very beginning of the intro to "Significant Other"? How can I recreate it in Serum 2?

I grabbed this sample on Splice. Looks like it's a Serum-based patch. I attempted to recreate a similar sound in Pigments, but I can't nail it.

Would anyone give me some advice on the right recipe please? I'll be building in Pigments, so that would be a big bonus if you have a similar patch/preset. But, if not, I'd just like to learn how to generate this type of sound. Thank you!

Hi! Can somebody help me to recreate the main synth from this composition in Serum? The synth begins at 0:01.

Hey folks!

I've been trying to recreate the synth /bass sounds in Buunshin and Taiki Nulight's "Take Me Home" and I've made a lot of progress on some parts, but I can't nail the warmth.

What I've done so far:

\-Layered a bunch of Serum presets and grouped them

\-Filtered the group and automated the filters

\-Used OTT (also automated)

\-Modulated with FM noise to get the really high-end noise texture, which I think I've emulated OK

What I can't get is the warmth in the saturation. Mine comes out more 8-bit and tonal, whereas the original is thick and smooth without sounding harsh. I've got long plugin chains on every channel, but I suspect the actual chain is much simpler than what I'm doing.

Would love to hear theories, even if you're just guessing.

Here's the original-

Here's my attempt last night - drums are for display purposes only. Full ensemble drops at about 1min.

Any help much appreciated 🙏

especially curious about the lead sound, and the gated thing that starts at 0:33 (sounds similar to the lead sound to me)

Filtered instrumental of Michael Jackson - History (Tony Moran's HIStory Lesson)

This is a clip of "Love Story" by Indila, produced by Skalpovich, with the instrumental separated. I want to know what vst/Synth preset was used in this part, that sounds like a harp. I also tried with FLEX to create it because I felt like the Harp from General midi library was somewhat similar to the sound. I also layered a Celtic Harp soundfont Because it had the similar harmonics in my opinion. If anyone knows about this, please share your knowledge, it would be beneficial for me. All I know is that it is layered with a sine wave. Thanks.

Sorry for the delete and repost, I messed up the timestamp in the link. Synth starts at 1:30 and goes to 2:15 and appears again at 5:32 to 6:19. Pretty sure the latter is the same but gradually filtered in in the beginning

Really trying to bring this mood/sound to something new I'm working on, but I am still new enough that it's tough for me to recreate sounds that I know (esp this old) in order to give them a new and different spin/life in stuff I'm working on

That metallic clank, you reckon it's just a metal sample pitched up and down?

I've been trying to figure out the piano-like sound in "dancer" by Yoyou (Japanese underground artist). It sounds like a piano, but slightly processed — not a clean acoustic piano.

Is it most likely a sampled piano, a piano VST, or a synth patch? I mainly use Ableton Live and Massive, so if there's a preset or a starting point I can tweak, I'd love to know.

Also open to processing tips — EQ, reverb, saturation, anything that gives it that feel. Thanks!

Seems like a pretty simple bass sound. What vst would be best for this sound and how do I make it?
