Viper Diva - En Y | Lead Synth Patch Remake

Remaking the lead synth from the 2020 song "En Y" by Viper Diva can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "En Y" lead patch and play this iconic sound on most hardware or software subtractive synthesizers (Serum, Vital, Pigments, Prophet, Korg, Moog, etc). We've included the preset download directly for your convenience, but we strongly recommend you use our programming tutorial to recreate it yourself.

Original Audio

The lead at 1:41 is a large, noisy supersaw-style patch with multiple unisoned sawtooth voices and an added noise layer. It features a slow, audible downward pitch sweep across the sustained notes and mild to moderate distortion/saturation for grit. The texture is wide and detuned, producing a thick stereo spread and a slightly metallic high end from the noise layer. You hear the descending, noisy lead prominently at 1:41 in the track.

Our Remake of The Lead Synth sound

This audio clip is how close we've matched the original tone of the lead synth from the song "En Y" by Viper Diva, giving you a reference point as you design your own synthesizer preset. Play it as often as you need to familiarize yourself with the nuances of the sound.

Synth Patch Programming Recipe

Getting Started

• Start by initializing your synthesizer to a plain saw with no filter, modulation or effects. For soft synths use the "init"/"default" preset or the the button to reset allx parameters to their default factory values.
• No two synths are exactly alike, so treat the values below as approximate, and use your ear.
• Percentage values (e.g. 50%) represent the relative position of a knob or slider within its full range. The full range of each parameter may differ from synth to synth, so use your ear.
