Trance pluck arp 138 bpm Am 4 bars

About this sample

This sound features a rich trance arpeggio built with a supersaw ensemble of five detuned sawtooth oscillators, creating a wide stereo field with subtle panning. Each note follows a fast percussive pluck envelope with a sharp attack and 200ms exponential decay, while a 4-pole low-pass filter sweeps down from 4000Hz to 400Hz to add brightness that quickly closes off. The pattern plays a driving 16th-note sequence in A minor at 138 BPM, enhanced by a dotted-eighth stereo delay that adds rhythmic complexity. Sidechain volume ducking on every quarter note creates pumping that leaves space for a kick, and the final output is softened with gentle saturation and normalization.

This arpeggio fits well in trance and progressive genres at similar tempos around 138 BPM. It can be layered with pads or basses to fill out the mix but watch for frequency masking in the midrange due to the rich supersaw texture. Applying additional reverb or EQ can help it blend smoothly without overpowering other elements, especially in dense arrangements.
