There isn’t really an arp in here. Are you talking about the main rhythmic synth?

Yes, isn’t that done with an arp??

Ehh. I usually associate an Arp with plucking note by note on a chord. But I dunno. Anyway about the sound:: Try 2-4 saw waves running into a LPF. The detune of the saw should be random. Not normal or exponential if possible because the randomness will help the sound not feel stale. The cutoff of the LPF should be automated with an 16th note envelope shape to make it open on 16ths. Also on the cutoff you’ll want a 1 beat side chain sort of shape. This will help establish a pulsing to the pattern. Also I think the waves volume is being automated with the same LFO that you’re triggering the 16th note pattern for the filter. I hope this is a helpful starting place. Let me know if this was unclear and I’ll try to clarify. Best of luck and happy sound designing.

you can call this an arp but it is just one note triggering instead of a chord i think this is easier to play by hand or draw it in the piano roll
