Are you telling me I should produce a midrange sound without using midrange?

Has a lot to do with the source sound imo. Even cheap analogue synths like the Monotron can achieve a very noticably different sound to say Massive for instance. The characteristics are the slight variation in pitch and more lower mid frequencies which somehow sound warm rather than the 'muddy' sound that many digital synths create.

Some people hate this advice, but get yourself a nice warm analogue synth or an analogue filter. Is easiest way to get warm and cozy. N.b. some analogue is warmer than other analogue. Some analogue is very good at warm but not much good at anything else. They're all different recipes so if you go down this road, do your homework.

High frequencies will always tend to sound "harsh", so if you don't need them, cut them, and if you don't, reverb the shit out of it.
