00:00 - 00:32 01:54 - 02:07,
(You may have to listen closely)
there is snippets of where it is happening, but mainly it is happening throughout the entire song.

So there is the main sound but then whats happening to the sound is what i want to know, it has a human-ish quality, not like a vocoder or anything but its like the mouth shape is changing. I heard that the main sound is just stacked saw's though.

Thanks

Sounds like a phaser.

Maybe some Glide or Portamento too.

Try overlapping notes with a glide or portamento set on your synth. This guy could be using a talkbox but I doubt it. Sounds like a square wave of some type. You're talking about the higher frequency part that sounds like a voice right? Because there is definitely a phaser on the pad underneath.

Oh and if you've got Omisphere or Sylenth start tweaking on their Theramin presets. I' sure other synths have a similar one, but those two I know do.

Yeah the main synth.

theramin presets?

It can be done with a flanger/phaser with lots of feedback.

Oops, Theremin. Its an instrument that you play without actually touching it which the presets are modeled to to sound like, its got that wavering slipperly sound to it.

If you're looking for vocal-ish sounds, try working with the formant filter in Analog, or follow a tutorial to put together a formant filter using racks/EQ8
