How to make that sound?

[cop123ily]

Hi guys!
recently I am trying to reproduce this sound but without success.
I was trying to use square wave also saw tooth and play with its filter cutoff. Also was trying to use FM synthesis with Operator (ableton).

I think there is some modulation going on but I don't understand how to create this kind of sound. I hear it a lot mostly in trance and energetic house.

The sound is at 4:12 (the delayed synth that is going on for the whole minute)

There's a preset called "EMD Lead" on the Arturia CZ V (a VST combining aspects of the Casio CZ-1/CZ-101 synths) which is not entirely dissimilar to the sound.

I have this as part of the V Collection but there appears to be a free demo available from the product page linked above.

Running that through a parametric EQ, distortion (and tweaking them by ear) followed by a digital delay definitely lands in the right ballpark. I suspect running it through a formant filter or band-pass filter and experimenting a bit would get closer still.

Sounds like it could be a wavetable sound (possibly filtered) with lot of stereo delay applied. The wavestepping could easily be what's producing the formant sound. That's where I'd start.

Having had another listen, there could be multiple sounds involved, not one.

The first is a the lower pitched stoccato stab sound and the second is higher and has more movement in it. A third appears at 4:35.

These could equally all be the same patch played in different ways; modelling synths (such as Korg's MOSS engine) can sound radically different depending on how the same sound is played and which controllers are used but I think there's some mix engineering contributing to the final result also.
