Section 5: Suggestions for writing the riff...

1.) As the lead is more of a tonal effect than a melodic tool find a key which sounds good with the track this may not nesacerily be the key of the bass (as the portamento is up on the V-Station tone of the notes played has changed)

2.) I find that choppy parts sound great with this lead (reference riff example picture) however this is just one example, all parameters on the filter vst such as the freq position or lfo speeds (FG1/FG2) can be changed to suit the style your after!

3.) Different types of distortion will also change the character for example the harder the distortion the more 'acidy' it sounds and the less you apply the 'squelchier' it'll sound!
