And don't forget the reverb.. i would combining a gated reverb and another
one on top..

b.t.w. i think about every analog synth is capable of making trance sound,
but we all know trance producers only use sample cd's ;)

We use the An1x as a lead most of the time, but arpegiations are often done
by the Prophecy, Juno 106 and Nord lead. The key I have found to giving
it that Trance feel, is to create a pensive feel to the arpegiation, so
using sharps and flats in the arpegiation is key. The other BIG one is a
good delay. Just as an experiment create a basic 4 note arpegiation around
145 bmp without a delay effect. Now add a triplet delay left and right and
make the left delay twice the length of the right delay.. see how fat the
sound becomes and how much like commercial trance is sounds.
