The lead synth is one of the most memorable elements that producers use to create the melody or main idea for a track. The power of the lead melody line is created by starting with a good preset or custom-designed synth patch, and using a particular combo of plugins and/or automations to achieve the desired result.
When creating a track, it’s important to identify the type of sound and genre you’re aiming to write and construct the lead synth sounds for your tracks accordingly. In techno, a wide range of lead synth sounds are popular in modern tracks. These sounds range from old school rave-type sounds to heavily-automated futuristic pluck leads.
