First, the synth I'm talking about is like a supersaw-ish nasal-sounding PWM (that's the best way I can describe it :p). Anyone know how it was created? It seems like it's everywhere in late 90's hardcore.

Second, does anyone know where this "boing" sample is from?
* Starts at the very beginning, loops while fading out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH6lOjWyWbU
* Starts a few seconds in, loops: https://soundcloud.com/djsolution/solution-ephexis-elements-arkitech-remix

Cheers.

The closest I've gotten to making a similar synth has been by taking envelopes affecting oscillator pitch off of hoover patches. I did that on the Computer Music Genesis synth and used in a couple of my tracks. In Z3ta 2 I also found some interesting sounding hoover's which at closer look revealed to have drastic EQ applied (which explained the nasal quality). One more thing I do is experiment with patches and if I get something I like, I sample that, thus giving me a one-shot stab which I then re-import into a sampler.

As for the "boing" sound. I always thought it was some kind of vocal sound. no idea from where, though.

Probably an Alpha Juno (so as you said, PWM-heavy. The same sound could be achieved with a lot of synths) sampled and very harsh EQ applied in the mid range. The first of the 2 examples is also timestretched. In both cases they are sampled synths rather than actual synths used and most of the characteristics come from EQ and such applied after.

All of Trixxy's work is like that. It puts me off, what would otherwise be, some great tunes.

I don't know where it's from but here it is https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/a24622636b61aef5c19bc887b207c10c20140508123343/3baa9d

I used it in one of mine a few years back, took me a while to track the sample down.

It doesn't put me off as much, but yeah.

I would highly recommend the Redominator VSTi by Audiorealism. It's the best Juno emulation I've found personally and comes with many classic hardcore sounding presets to get ya started :)

to answer the first question I think Stu said there were quite a few old skool hoovers/stabs etc on this one:
that were used by the likes of slipmatt etc?
