here is how to create a somewhat close hitmen lead, usind FM modulation through the powerfull Native-Instruments FM8! I wouldn’t say it sounds exactly the same, but this is the basics how to get close. the reverb is from another plugin btw.

   Hm I did exactly like you did, but it wont get even close to this I added reverb and everything… Did you add something else then reverb? It doesn’t even sound the same even before you added all those effects at 1:18 :(:(

    Nice, though i would have widened it with for example Flux’s Stereo Tool and used VintageWarmer or something to make it even bigger and warmer!

    its an fx channel with a reverb and a compressor after that which is sidechained by the lead itself, which makes the reverb getting sidechained everytime theres a signal from the synth.
