Designing 80s Synthwave Soundscapes: Analog Leads & Arpeggiators

1. Driving 16th-Note Arpeggiated Basslines

Program a single-oscillator pulse wave synth with tight filter decay driven by an arpeggiator set to 16th notes with sidechain ducking!

2. Analog Chorus & Detuned Saw Leads

Layer two detuned sawtooth oscillators and pass them through a warm analog chorus plugin for wide retro nostalga.
