My synth sound

For this project I had to make up a synth sound of my own, and this is what I ended up with. Working from the default synth in Sytrus I first changed the WAV thing into a SAW wav then I modded the volume and pitch envelopes to get that gradual rise in the strength of the note and the little swoop in the pitch, then I added in some delays and effects like chorus into the mix, but not too over bearing then finally I wanted to mess with some of the filter settings so I went into the main FL Studio mixer and selected the Bass, treble, and midrange dials and created automation clips for all of them, then I went and messed around with them a bit in the playlist, I thought it added a nice subtle change to the song, I was thinking something along the lines of the synth that does the solo in "The Hand that feeds"- NIN, its not exact but his does a little pitch shifting and weird stuff is more fuzzy over all than mine is. Hope you like the little ditty
