Settings

osc
2 saw -1 detuned wide + 1 saw +1 oct for the bright top, unison 2, detune 22 cents, sub none
filter
LP 24 dB/oct, bright and mostly open
cutoff
6500 Hz
resonance
0.25, drive 0.3
envelope
A 3 ms D 40 ms S 0.65 R 70 ms; small punch on the attack, otherwise sits open so the melody reads clearly over the 150 bpm kick pattern; filter env amount 0.3
modulation
lfo sine 4 Hz to pitch
effects
bright plate reverb plus a 1/8 dotted delay for the euphoric trailing tail typical of the sub-genre, none
notes
A brighter, less distorted cousin of the hoover lead: the emphasis here is melodic euphoria rather than aggression, so the filter sits mostly open and the saw stack is voiced up an octave on top for sparkle. A slow sine vibrato on pitch gives the sustained notes their singing quality against the chipmunk vocal chops.
