Making different sawleads.

[myrva]

Okay, I've been messing around with the virus b presets and soundsets for about 3 years. I'm fed up with that shit (sorry).. My dream is to MAKE my own sounds, not just browse through the banks hoping to find a sound that fit's my song. damn I'll make my own sounds from now on.

This is the deal. I know a bit about programming va synths. I've read a lot etc. And I can also MAKE sounds... All i have is a couple of questions.

Making the ultimate "you have never heard this one before" supersaw sound.

*imagine*

I put all osc to saw, play with detune and osc mixer, add unison, hell even a bit of chorus. It sounds like a supersaw. Now I have to access the filters. Tweaking the envelopes and env amount, cutoff, resonance... yeah. this is the way....I just made the same sound that I made yesterday, and the day before that... etc. etc.

*end imagining*

Now, to the question.

What settings of the filter change the sound most? is there REALLY a difference which filter you use in your virus. How can you make the sound different from others? LFO's? Pulsewidth? those are just questionmarks to me... How can you (for example) create a synced sawlead, like M.I.K.E guys use on their songs... I'm having a bit of trouble finding the right knobs.

Please help me Pimp My Sound.
