I have Gladiator, Slyenth, Nexus & Synth1 but cant seem to find the preset I’m looking for, mainly trance leads from the kind of thing that is about today, nice melodic sounds.
Can anyone help with preset packages and where to get them or advise me on the best VST for trance please.
well… i’m sorry i can’t direct you to a perfect soundbank, but i’d search for sylenth1 soundbanks, as the sylenth1 is a very good virus emulator - which is pretty much the staple trance synthesizer. if you could afford a virus, i say go for it, since it also comes with a vst interface - so you don’t have to just use the hardware… but if not, your best bet would be to specifically search for sylenth1 trance presets, which you can hear demos of before you purchase.
there is a tutorial on how to make a super saw sound in ableton live. check that out and adjust your start point for a slightly different tamber. see if that might help you out first. I would highly suggest against using presets though. You can learn alot from twiddling knobs. Twiddle away and save what you made! 
Cheers, where is this vid?

tech tips 3, supersaw in ableton. If this doesnt work, just post a reply and I can try to help you out further. Happy sound making!
someone said this might help on another forum “Try a slow LFO speed linked to the oscillator pitch maybe sum ring mod as well” but I have no idea how to do this!
