How To Make a chillwave lead sound

How To Make a Chillwave Lead.

A quick look at some of the techniques employed in a making a Chillwave, Glo-fi or Synthwave type type lead as well as the creation of the lead itself.

Starting from an INIT preset, we'll look at Oscillator and Filter settings, Repro-5's Tweaks page and why that helps, we'll listen to some sound modulation then work with it against a simple bass sound in keeping with the Chillwave genre, finishing off by adding a drum break with some lowpass filtering, bit of a levels balance then finish.
