To fully max out the available voices in Sylenth we need to change the polyphony. Now in the envelope section (Amp Env B), take the attack up slightly to 0.98 and bring up the release to 3.80, then copy and paste these envelope settings for the envelope in Part A (Amp Env A). Bring Oscillator B2 down one octave to 0 and change the wave from the Saw setting to Pulse, which adds a bit more body. Bring Oscillator B1 down two octaves to -1, and bring the fine pitch to -0.09 and pan it to the left slightly. Use the P buttons to paste the oscillator settings onto oscillators B1 and B2. Copy the oscillator settings from Oscillator A2, then click on Part B up at the top of the window. Now let’s maximise Sylenth’s other oscillators to get the biggest sound we can. The panning adds width and the subtle pitch detuning adds more warmth and thickness. Now, reverse these effects on Oscillator A1, by panning the oscillator to the left slightly and bringing down the Fine control down to -0.09. Finally, drag the pan of this oscillator to the right slightly and turn the Fine control of the oscillator tuning to 0.09. This makes the sound a bit sharper and brighter. Tune this oscillator up an octave by clicking and dragging up in the box next to Octave until it displays +1. Keeping our focus on Oscillator A2, click and drag up on the box next to Wave to change it to the Saw setting. In the top right of the Oscillator A1 section you’ll see C and P buttons, which allow us to copy and paste oscillator settings. Click on C, then over on Oscillator A2 click P to paste the settings from Oscillator A1 into Oscillator A2. Also click on the box next to Retrig to turn off oscillator re-triggering – this means the sound is slightly less consistent but is also bigger, which is an adequate trade off. This detunes the pitch of the voices, creating a thick chorus-like effect. Click and drag up on the box next to Voices, bringing it all the way up to 8, and then take the detune control to just before half way, as shown. Oscillator A1 is set to a sawtooth by default, which is perfect for our needs. Open up an instance of Sylenth and select Init Preset from the drop-down menu in the centre section so we have a blank slate to work with. It’s important you play chords with this type of sound to get that uplifting vibe, so make sure you don’t attempt this with a mono synth. Although any poly synth (soft or hard) will be capable of this type of sound, Sylenth really has an edge here due to its per-oscillator voice stacking, detune and panning capabilities.
