I'm searching for a particular sound, but I don't know what it's called. I hear it primarily in synthpop songs as the main "instrument."

I can't search for it, I don't know what it's called.

These are some examples of what I mean;

www.colony5.com/files/listen/Syncronized_Hearts.mp3
www.colony5.com/files/listen/Psyco%20Blonde.mp3
www.myspace.com/razedinblack - particularly Share this Poison

Note: These are .mp3, .mp3, and a link to myspace, all of which are provided by the band.

Just sounds like a synth note, probably analogue, but put through an arpeggiator (cant spell it)

Sounds like a sawtooth wave to me.

^^ Agreed. Sounds like a double or triple voice sawtooth played at a high octave. It can be crafted fairly easily by changing the amplitude envelope on your synthesizer. It should look like this: Attack=0 Decay=25-50 Sustain=0-25 Release=25-50. (Assuming that 0 is the minimum allowed and 100 is the maximum allowed)

It also might have a light reverb effect on it but that could just be the release time.

Yep, that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
