About this sample

This 3-second arpeggio at 160 BPM uses a supersaw waveform with five detuned voices for a rich, bright texture. Each note features a sharp attack and short decay, with a subtle pitch sweep from slightly above the target frequency back down, adding movement. The sound passes through a resonant low-pass filter whose cutoff sweeps between 900 and about 7100 Hz, controlled by an ADSR envelope, and alternating notes are panned left and right to create a wide stereo image. The final output has a high-pass filter at 120 Hz, moderate saturation, and a controlled reverb with a 1.6-second decay to add spaciousness without smearing the rhythm.

This arpeggio suits fast trance or uplifting EDM tracks around 160 BPM, fitting well as a melodic rhythmic element. It works best layered under leads or pads, adding energy and width without overpowering. In a mix, watch for midrange buildup due to the supersaw and use EQ to maintain clarity with kick and bass elements.
