well i don't make trance but i do have some trance influence in a few of my dnb tracks, with leads i normally use pretty basic sounds - eg 2 detuned saw / square waves running thru a couple filters (i use the notch a fair bit), write a basic melody, bit of reverb n delay and thats about it Big Grin

edit: also have a look at the presets on whatever synth it is that u use, a lot of synths have trance type sound presets, have a look at the patch and see how it was made, try doing something similar to give u an idea Happy

get Vangaurd. set 3 osc too saw tooth, crank up the detune, mog filter, play with that sweeping, and maybe look at it ARP'ing.

Shit loads of Eq as usual, + reverb and delay to give distance in between the sounds.

I notice that loads of chorus, flanger, formant filter were also used.

Psy trance is like DnB a bit tricky at start but with a brain and good ears working all together you'll get there soon !

A lot of synths from ImageLine (the guys from FL studio) have tons of Trance presets, just analyze how they were made.
Synths like Albina and Predator also have good presets for trance.

The big deal in trance is good pads/strings and good arpeggiator action combined with nice chord progressions.
