Unverified
Inferred from the knowledge base. Nobody has cited a source yet; one accepted source makes it POTENTIALLY, one grade A source or two grade B sources verify it
Settings
- osc
- 1 pulse, narrow width, unison 1, detune 0 cents, sub none
- filter
- resonant low-pass, cutoff itself part of the repeating pattern
- cutoff
- 1800 Hz
- resonance
- 0.6, drive 0.15
- envelope
- A 1 ms D 60 ms S 0 R 20 ms; the cutoff steps through a short repeating pattern in sync with a rhythmic gate, rather than tracking individual notes; filter env amount 0.7
- modulation
- lfo square 3.5 Hz to cutoff, mono
- effects
- none - the part is meant to sound raw and mechanical, not smoothed with reverb or delay, none
- notes
- Rebuild this as a narrow pulse wave through a resonant low-pass filter whose cutoff steps through a short, repeating pattern gated on and off rhythmically - the VCS3's own envelope-follower/sequencer behaviour, not a keyboard-played line. Keep the tone dry and mechanical rather than smoothing it with effects; the raw, looping repetition is the entire point of the part.
