Lead,bass,arp,pad etc.?

Hi,
I am working on a track and I need something original but I don't know how to make a synth.
Would you be able to help?
Thanks :)

First of all You have the Wave of your synth, choose it. Use a square or a triangle (I'm talking on the pulv). Choose what octave is better with the sound, modify the filter if necessary, to add presence, you can had resonnance but carefull with this little skizofrenic babe, it can just ruin a synth lol. Next choose the ADSR enveloppe, Attack is the begin of your sound, sustain is the maintain of the note at it maximal power, decay is the decrasing of the note, release is the time your note will ring after she stopped to play. Here you have a basic sound, Add a ADSR filter to have a plucked or acid (or else ?) sound, Add a LFO if you want a dubstep sound (make variation on the wave rate to make dubstep, dont forget to sync and trigger). You can add some glide.

DONT TOUCH:
-Tune/Tuning bouttons, let's do the thing one by one, this will serve you later.
-KBtracking: It's complicated for a beginner
-Spacing: Same reason + I only use this for details

YOU CAN ADD:
-A Reverb, pretty essential most of time for me
-A Delay, if you do some reggae dub rastafaria weed weed lion or just MD Trance lol
-A P.Delay of REALLY you have smoke to much blunt to do Spatial rastafarian Deep Dub Lion Snoop Snoop pot you know what I mean lol
-A Detune, pretty essential to, to give presence to the sound, don't use Chorus on AT Chorus is sheet
-A Crusher to do some YOY bass but you need to make an automation with your filter if you put some downsampling, you can also just use it to put your bitrate downer, have a lo-fi sound, that's cool

• A Drive but careful, that's not the best drive I've seen
  -Stereo Enchancer to masterize ONLY
  -Exiter to give presence
  -Flanger, Phase, Gate is shit, don't use dat exept if you've taken some lsd
  -Graph EQ to mix

The biggest part of synthesis is just experimenting, just turn each knob to see what they do. Once you figure that out it will be easy for you to open up some other drafts and see how they make their synths and what kind of settings you need for certain types of sounds. Then later on you can learn about the technical side of things and learn about phase and overtones/harmonics. It can get kind of complicated but the main part is just figuring out how each knob affects the sound.
tl;dr just experiment and figure out what kind of configurations sound good and what feel they give the track.

@callycus Genre: dnb, frech house, chiptune ...

Learn mostly how to do arp.

@lux639-3 Thank you very much, I use all the information very much, now I will put it into practice.

@cookie_yoda_365 I appreciate your help too.

@teamremixeszorer Np bro', I'm here for dat nigga' ;)

dnb I know a bit about.
Arps within dnb tend to fall more into the liquid side of things, which I'm not a huge fan of.
Your best bet, is to use a short release, low sustain and shorter decay on your amp envelope. essentially get a pluck type sound. From there a bit of reverb and some delays used nicely in conjunction with each other can work wonders to fill the space between notes.
The sound itself, again, it depends on the vibe you are trying to go for, lately I have been playing around with a more simplistic type of sound and working to make it sound clean. So, use a square wave, filter it a bit, add some resonance to the filter in the midrange perhaps, maybe a second oscillator playing at an octave or two higher to add a little extra into that high-end.

If we were talking bass sounds, I'd have more input for you :P

@callycus Thanks for the advice.
I will try to apply them.
I suppose your help for the serious sounds would serve me a lot.

just check out dublion if you wanna learn hkw to make liquid arpy dnb

@in Thanks.
