About this sample

This lead features a thick supersaw sound made from seven detuned sawtooth waves layered with a pulse-width modulated square wave, all spread across the stereo field for width. The notes follow a syncopated 16th-note pattern in E minor at 128 BPM, with a fast attack and decay envelope giving a plucky feel. A resonant 24dB/oct low-pass filter set at 2200 Hz shapes the brightness, while heavy tanh saturation adds grit and glue. Sidechain pumping mimics volume ducking on every quarter note, enhancing the characteristic electro house bounce.

It works well in aggressive electro and house productions around 128 BPM, cutting through dense mixes with its sharp presence and rhythmic energy. Layering with sub-bass and percussive elements will help balance its brightness, and careful use of EQ can prevent the midrange from clashing with vocals or leads. The sidechain effect gives space for kick drums, so avoid redundant compression to keep the groove tight.
