damn i'm just getting crazy about tune with preset "Lead Stacco1" do you know any idea what settings this patch include? also, what kind of waveforms, filters, vibrato mb? ty

@artemoonlv Hiya :) Man, it's been a long, LONG time since I even touched this thing I'm afraid, but the sound of this patch is your typical SID lead sound, with a pulse-modulated square wave. What's happening is it's a square wave, with the width of the square oscillating slowly between wide and narrow, so you end up with that "singing" lead sound. What made it sound a little bit more special here is the fact that the auto-arpeggio was happening when 2 keys were down. Hope that helps a little!
