Clavia Nord Lead, lead

Sound of the Underground · Girls Aloud / Single (2002)

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: 2 saw, unison 3, detune 15 cents
filter: LP 24 dB/oct
cutoff: 5090 Hz
resonance: 0.29
envelope: A 9 ms D 156 ms S 0.64 R 190 ms; moderate filter movement following the amp envelope
modulation: mono
effects: light distortion, chorus
notes: Xenomania built the hook from a chunky, slightly distorted synth line that sits alongside processed guitar, giving the track an edge unusual for a UK girl-group single. The line is short, repetitive and rhythmically tight rather than melodic. A Virus-style saw lead through light distortion with a fast envelope suits it.
