Hi,
im hearing alot lately especially in minimal tech and tech house this pluck sound. i am just wondering how would you create this in Sylenth. I have put a link below so you can hear what sound im on about. you casn hear it clearly form 1 min on. Any help would be great. thanks

Shouldn’t be too tricky to make in sylenth, however I know there is a sample very similar to that, possibly the same sample used here, in the Vengence Minimal House sample cd. I only know that cos I’m using that sample in the track I’m making atm, not that I memorise all the samples 
Yeah, I +1 this, I know it’s in a lot of sample CDs, but I’d like to know to make it, for two reasons - knowing to make something it much more valuable then having it on sample, and also, as heard in that example, he up’s the release several times to give that stretched effect, which you CAN’T do with a sample…
I don’t own sylenth so not sure how to go about making this on there, but you can make something very similar using Operator. It is FM synthesis so I’m not certain if sylenth would be able to do it. Predator can, cos this method is a bit stolen from one of it’s presets.
So in Operator set osc A’s level to 0db, with coarse set to 1 and a sine wave. Set the sustain on osc A’s amp envelope to –inf, decay to around 300ms. Set osc B’s coarse to 4 (which is up by 2 octaves), again a sine wave, bring it’s level to about -16db. Set the sustain on osc B’s amp envelope to –inf, and decay to about 17ms. Activate the filter section and use a 24db lowpass filter, set the cutoff to about 4khz and Res to 0.3. On the filter envelope set the attack to about 5ms, sustain to 0% and I dropped the peak down to 70%. Opening up the filter more will give you a brighter sound. Then in the master section, I left the tone to about 70%, make sure you have the oscillators set to modulate each other, so there should be a picture of the 4 coloured squares in a vertical line in the master section. Then whack on a bit of a reverb and you’ve got roughly the sound from it, I was playing an A3 note, so somewhere around there on your keyboard should do it.
Hope that all makes sense.
Fair play R7 - Thanks for that 
Sweet. I believe Sylenth is an FM synth, I’ll give that a bash and let you know!
