You know these kinda saw-y, crispy sounding ones.
Remember making something like this with the EFM1 in logic once, but still not the same.
Guessing it's FM or? How do you make them?

Delay/reverb, some filtering of course, but the basic patch is what I can't get!

Kind of like this:

Or at 0:40 in this (after "get some frozen yoghurt!"):

Tried again today with FM, didn't get too close. Nobody knows?

try two slightly detuned squares. add a band reject or double notch filter with some resonance on it and automate the cutoff

Trying atm. These sound so clicky though, will detuned squares do it? Hm, we'll see

Detuned saws would make sense, it sounds awfully similar to a KOAN-styled reece. I'd go a step further and say split frequencies and distort the mid-highs, saturate the lows a bit

just my $0.02 though

Thanks. But reeses have a 'solid' high end, this high end is really choppy, you know? I'll try this but I often make reeses and I never end up with highs like this.

I'd go for one or two saw waves, automate a highpass filter to go up to maybe about 600hz and down again, then distort after this. Maybe some peaks/notches on top of the highpass filter.

Okay, will try. Thanks.
