Synthwave lead pluck in F#m

About this sample

This lead pluck features a blend of sawtooth and detuned square waves with 25% pulse width, creating a vintage analog character. Each note is shaped by a fast-decaying amplitude envelope for a sharp pluck and a 4-pole low-pass filter with a cutoff that quickly drops from about 4 kHz to 400 Hz, adding a pronounced percussive snap. The sequence plays an arpeggio in F# minor at 120 BPM, with stereo delay on dotted-eighth notes and cross-feedback for spatial depth. Saturation adds warmth, and a subtle high-pass filter cleans up low-end mud.

It suits synthwave and retro electronic styles around 120 BPM, working well as a melodic lead or arpeggiated hook. Layer it with pads or basses to balance brightness, and watch for frequency masking in the mids due to the strong filter snap. The stereo delay adds width but keep delay levels moderate to avoid cluttering the mix.
