Tone Profile

A clean, bright synth pluck with a slightly metallic and resonant character. It has a clear attack and a relatively short decay, making it percussive and defined.

Production Credits

Producer: Wally de Backer (Gotye)

Recorded at: The Church, Beechworth, VIC, Australia

Signal Chain

Instrument: Roland Juno-106

Recording Notes

  • The sound was likely created using a Roland Juno-106, which is known for its bright and clean sound, especially when using saw or pulse waveforms.
  • The patch would have involved adjusting the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve the desired metallic and resonant quality. The envelope would be set to provide a fast attack and medium decay to create the plucked sound.
  • The final part was layered with other synths, keys, samples and percussion

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or pulse waveform on a Roland Juno-106 or similar synth.
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to create a bright, resonant tone.
  • Use an envelope to shape the sound with a fast attack and medium decay.
  • Experiment with chorus or other modulation effects to add depth and richness.
