Electrical zaps (techno sound design like Snts) using Live’s Wavetable

In this video we do a little synthesis tutorial on how to get the buzzing, zapping electrical lead sound that can also be heard in Snts – Disappearance of Fate. This sound is perfect for any bleak techno or industrial atmospheres, and it’s an excuse for us to flex our Ableton Live Wavetable sound shaping skills.
