About this sample

This arpeggio features a classic trance supersaw lead built from seven detuned sawtooth voices with stereo panning for a wide, thick texture. Each note, played at 138 BPM in A minor, uses a percussive plucky ADSR envelope and a low-pass filter that sweeps from 4500 Hz down to 800 Hz, creating a rhythmic pluck effect. The sequence runs as a driving 16th note pattern over four bars, enhanced by a dotted 8th note ping-pong delay with cross-feedback and warm tanh saturation. A high-pass filter cleans up low-end mud, and the sound is normalized for consistent level.

This arp fits well in trance and other electronic dance genres around 138 BPM, providing a melodic and rhythmic lead element. It can be layered with pads or basses for fuller mixes but watch for frequency clashes in the midrange due to its dense harmonic content. The delay tail adds space, so leave room in the mix for its ambient repeats without overcrowding.
