ok, here is a step by step for setting up a hard lead using saw waves. This is a very simple patch. I haven't given you the patch but just the settings. It is a bit messy but I had been working for 14 hours before I did this for you, so no complaining.
Also, Play a note after each change and you will see what is changing. Once done start to change more settings and you'll see what starts to change.
Start with RAM 126 or any start program:
OSC'S:
Osc 1 =, saw, no other change
Osc 2= saw, fm mode triangle, fm amount 46, sync on.
OSC3: ON, and saw wave, only change. Ensure no detune
Mix:
OSc Balance = 0, sub osc 81, osc volume +37, noise and ring mod =0
Amp env:
a=0, d=92, s=0, r=0
Filter env:
a=0, d=72,s=0, r=127
Filter 1, cutoff = 62, reso = 9, env amt = 61, mode = lp, key follow= +28,
Filter 2: offset = +1, reso=9, env amt= 61 env amt = 61, mode = lp, key follow= +28,
Filter Common, serial 4, filter balance = 0, cutoff link on, keyfollow base = C1
Saturation: type bit reducer, amount +37
EDIT MENU:
Surround: =output = off, Balance = -64,
Common: tempo = 140 bpm, Patch volume = 100, panorama = 0, ignore other common pages.
Unison = 4, detune = 66, pan spread = 75. Ignore rest of common pages.
LFO 1:
Shape = Triangle, Clock off, rate = 123, mode poly, osc1 Pitch = +15, Osc 2 pitch = -10, Assign OSC3 Pitch, Amt +1.
FX:
Delay: Mode pattern 5+5, send 20, send = 20, feedback = 27. coloration = -36, mod rate = 16 mod depth = 12, mod shape = tri
Reverb, Mode reverb, Type Large room, Send = 38, Clock = off, time 90, damping = 55, coloration = +45, Predelay =147.5
Low EQ:
freq(Hz) = 105, Gain = -16dB.
Mid EQ:
Freq (Hz) = 1046, Q = 1.02, Gain = +9dB
High EQ:: Freq = 3029, gain = +7.25dB
Distortion = off,
Low Boost: Intensity = 8you choose 0 = thin but I use 90, Freq = 40.
That?s it folks.
I have the patch but you can only get a copy after you send me a sample of your attempt. (Which will be the exact same as mine if you use all these settings, I made it twice using these notes.
Cheers

P.S I have a mp3 of me playing this sound and altering some of the basic controls on my soundclick page.
