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 saw + noise, unison 1, detune 0 cents, sub none, noise 0.6
- filter
- bandpass, self-resonating toward oscillation, swept by the VCS3's built-in joystick control
- cutoff
- 900 Hz
- resonance
- 0.85, drive 0.3
- envelope
- A 800 ms D 600 ms S 0.6 R 2000 ms; erratic, hand-controlled sweeps rather than a fixed envelope shape — automate cutoff freely; filter env amount 0.5
- modulation
- lfo sh 4 Hz to cutoff, mono
- effects
- heavy spring reverb and tape echo feedback, pushed toward self-oscillation, none
- notes
- Confined to the intro and texture passages, not the song's riff (that's guitar and bass): a noisy, near-self-oscillating VCS3 patch swept by hand via the instrument's joystick rather than a programmed envelope, drenched in spring reverb and echo feedback for the science-fiction wash Dik Mik was known for.
