Owner of a Lonely Heart · Yes / Single (1983)

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 + 1 square, wide detune (sampled orchestra-hit approximation), unison 4, detune 20 cents, sub sine -1, noise 0.1
filter: LP 24 dB/oct, opened wide
cutoff: 8000 Hz
resonance: 0.05, drive 0.1
envelope: A 1 ms D 0 ms S 1 R 400 ms; none; filter env amount 0
effects: gated reverb, Harmonizer, hard pan, crush
notes: Trevor Horn's Fairlight orchestral stabs (the famous ORCH5-family hit) and sampled breaks punctuate the track; the synth solo is played on a Prophet-5. Not a subtractive sound at all, so this is the closest stand-in: a wide, detuned saw/square/sub stack through a wide-open LP24, post crush for the sampled grain, and the AMS RMX16 gated reverb plus Eventide H949 Harmonizer that made Horn's stabs iconic.
