IF this was done w/LSDJ I'll agree that it sounds like nothing more than some PWM--maybe..25 or 75 percent.
There MAY be a 50% on the 0 tick directly followed on the 1 tick by the 25 or 75. There is a ton of "L"egato going on. Maybe that's part of what you are referring to?

And as far as spicing up your leads...V and O commands in the table can do wonders.
-good luck

So:

00  -  00
00  -  00
00  H 20
00 V 53
00 H 04

Would bring in some vibrato after the note is held for a little while.  It's a very powerful tool.

You might try adding some hop gated tables so that your lead tones kind of  evolve over time.  Also it's hard to go wrong with a detune of 1 or 2 on just about any instrument.

Btw, this song kicks ass.

Could you explain how to do hop gated tables? I'm just starting with tables. Newbie here haha

Trying to learn how to make more interesting sounding lead tones and I was wondering if anyone could guess how to make the lead instrument that comes in at 0:20 in this song: https://shadynastyiscool.bandcamp.com/t … r-scissors
