Its the main
drop of the above stanton warriors tune, I've got the kick sorted and the drums, but the
main tune that starts at 0:30 is just refusing to be replicated. Any ideas where I could
start? I've got NI Komplete 5 but haven't had any luck with NI massive so far.
Cheers

Check out Sylenth if you are after that sort of thing, although you NI stuff should be
able to get there:

Thanks, do you think that is what they used? I find it hard to tell if its just one synth,
or a bass and a synth, or even more going on over the drums.

Probably not, but it does sounds like that better than a lot of soft synths.

If you mean the arpeggiated/step sequenced gated 'hooverish' type sound then it's a prety
standard multiple saw waveform. Without having Massive open in front of me, it should be
replicable pretty damn closely in Massive.
See if there's a multi-saw waveform
or you could stack mulitple dual saw waveforms in the three oscillators and detune them
slightly.
It's basically created by having multiple saw waveforms in the one
sound, all detuned slightly from each other. The gating gives it a distinctive feel, as
well. There's also another resonant saw wave an octave or so lower that's not gated
doubling the sound which may be what is giving it some of the character you are looking
for.
I'd suggest using filter drive or some subtle distortion after the fact
to give it the punch.
Later on there's a sound that bears a striking
resemblance to a distorted guitar sample played an octave up - it's similar to the saw in
texture.

as already mentioned it's basically a 'super wave' which is gated. Sounds (from a very
quick listen) like an access virus synth but 'Sylenth' (again already mentioned) or 'reFX
Vangaurd' should replicate the sound very well.

Thanks for the advice, do you mean that I should detune them literally as in
lower/raise their pitch by an amount? If so how much? I presume it would be a sub-semi
tone amount or the notes would clash...
Or do you mean to set the unison above
1 in the voicing and to slide the "pitch cutoff" about to spread/detune the waveform?

What gating type effects do you think would be best to use in massive to get the same?

Probably sub 50 cents.
You also can fatten the sound up by adding fx like chorus, distortion and a wobbly old
filter, then resampling and pitching it up a few octaves.
