Hi, I'm new to sound design, can anyone tell me how to recreate this lead sound please thank you in advance! [Virus Polar]

Actually this sounds to me like a saxophone sample. But if I were to design a saxophone-like sound using the Virus I would probably do the following:
- Start with a sawtooth on osc1
- Play low notes
The modulation part is easier here:
- Make the sound go a little bit out of tune by controlling osc1 (and later osc2) pitch by a small amount. You can use LFO1 pre-routing for this (try env mode, triangle shape, several contours) , or create a moduation matrix routing from the filter envelope (an attack-decay shape - meaning 0 sustain - should be enough).
- Since in the link you gave, far away notes have noticable glide, increase the portamento.
The timbre itself requires a little more trial and error:
- Use the filters to create a mid-rangey sound. Consider using the filters in parallel mode. Make the filters key-following (with positive values) if you want to get the complete "sampler sound" experience.
- The saxophone typical buzzy finish can be a achieved using a little bit of white noise and osc2 in sync mode. Try osc2 with several waveforms including the wavetable ones, and several settings of semitone, detune and FM.
Hope this helps. -
I'll give it a try thank you very much flabberbob!
