Hey guys,
I'm trying to recreate the synth in this track, starting at 2:07.
Anyone any ideas to get me in the right direction?

Thanks!
I'm trying this for weeks already. I Would like to know that too.
It's a really complex lead, so much modulation going on. I've tried recreating this one too but I didn't spend too much time on it because I lost interest so the outcome wasn't that good. For that sharp, nearly plucky attack I'd suggest modulating the oscillator's pitch using an envelope with a really short decay. My wild guess is that using 2 synced square oscillators and 1 saw oscillator could lead to a similar direction. Modulate the 2 Square oscillator's pitch with a really fast LFO and modulate their pulse width partially with a really fast LFO but also an envelope with a medium-long decay. The third saw oscillator would take some pitch modulation from modulating the oscillator 1 already because thats how the Virus synth works AFAIK but you could also modulate it's pitch with an LFO using like +1 or -1 value. Also that pulse-width modulation with LFO should be done so that an envelope should modulate the PWM mix amount so that the effect isn't constant but a really sharp plucky'ish instead with a long decay (You can also use LFO3's delayed attack mode but that won't give you as much control over it as an envelope would).
Enough brainstorming, I tried recreating it once as I said and got a similar but not quite the same sound. Good luck I guess.

Thanks for the big explination, i'll try this tomorrow.
I've heard Code Black made it with sylenth1 but i'm not sure.

Thank you indeed! Can help me on my way! Trying a combination of the Virus and the sylenth... Long way to go but I think I'm getting somewhere in the right direction.
Glad to help. Here's a short sample of my quick recreation try:

I made it following the same ideas I told you guys in my previous post. It isn't identical at all but at least somewhat similar to the original lead IMO. I can give you the patch if you'd like but I seriously recommend trying yourself first because you won't learn anything otherwise.
If I was going to do it, I probably would try the folowing:
- Oscillator 2 only, sawtooth waveform
- FM modulation on osc2, with noise source
- Lowpass or bandpass filter (or some combination of both), controlled by the filter envelope, to create the "talking" effect.
- Distortion.
Hope this helps.

Thanks man, i'll try that also! it's really hard to get the same result
I also hear some slight lfo pitch modulation in there. There is also a lot of reverb under that lead but eq'ed to just low mids.. Maybe some 600 or so. Could be sidechained to the lead. I only had 1 quick listen.
