Heyo!
So it's been a while since i ever made a sound design question but... this time i'm stuck for sure.
I have no way around this, and i think i sat for 5-6 hours straight playing with different velocity, voices, resonances and external distortions.
This is impossible for me to brain. But HOW do i recreate the lead at 2:39?
Well, after putting 70% Decimate, 30% overdrive and 10% of clip distortion, then 2 phasers and some heavy EQ i ended up with a reasonably good mimic, still missing a little fuzz and formance but... yea
AND wow i've never actually tested the ringshifter, it's super cool!
Definitely FM. I think your close though, as of now. The original is a bit cleaner - more fm, less distortion, and EQ liberally to get that high-end clarity.
Yeah, using FM8 I can get pretty close.

Oh also, since you've noticed my struggle, thanks for listening, rofl.
Sugerbytes Turnado is also a monster for getting to that organic sound. Can really spice up a track. The other day I changed a normal drumloop into a talking creature, walking in the nether-realm looking for his mate.
However over-processing can f*ck up the sound so I keep the added fx subtle.
