I threw this together quickly by tweaking the first Dune preset a bit. The point was to capture the attack characteristic of a pluck... that initial assault on the eardrums that makes the pluck what it is. Here it is going from the "dog whistle" freq zone to audible, but slowly. I put a crummy sounding kick in because I think one characteristic of a pluck should be able to slice through other elements in the mix and to illustrate the point.

Of course, as I open up the cutoff, it is no longer really a pluck anymore and becomes more of just a trance synth sound, but since the cutoff characteristic is the key element to this sound type, hopefully the point is illustrated.
