This sound is reminiscent of his work with the EMS VCS 3 and other early synthesizers, known for their ability to produce rich, dynamic timbres. The siren-like quality is achieved through the manipulation of filters and envelopes, creating a sense of movement and tension. We'll recreate this sound with just a single synth patch, focusing on the EMS VCS 3's unique capabilities to produce such distinctive and evocative tones.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/jean-michel-jarre-ethnicolor","audio_clip_native":"https:\/\/syntorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/PatchFactory\/BySong\/Jean%20Michel%20Jarre\/Ethnicolor\/FX\/Jean%20Michel%20Jarre%20-%20Ethnicolor%20-%20FX.mp3","recipe":"<h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: <span>Mono<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillator Setup<\/h3><h4>Oscillator 1<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>71%<\/span><\/li><li>Wavetable: <span>Basic Shapes<\/span><\/li><li>Wave Frame: <span>Saw (position 97)<\/span><\/li><li>Routing: <span>Filter 1<\/span><\/li><li>Random Phase: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Transpose: <span>-12 st<\/span><\/li><li>Unison Voices: <span>3<\/span><\/li><li>Unison Detune: <span>4%<\/span><\/li><li>Unison Stereo Spread: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Detune Power: <span>0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4>Oscillator 2<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>52%<\/span><\/li><li>Wavetable: <span>Basic Shapes<\/span><\/li><li>Wave Frame: <span>Triangle (position 95)<\/span><\/li><li>Routing: <span>Filter 1+2<\/span><\/li><li>Random Phase: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter Settings<\/h3><h4>Filter 1<\/h4><ul><li>Model: <span>Analog<\/span><\/li><li>Style: <span>12dB Slope<\/span><\/li><li>Blend: <span>Low Pass (0)<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>59% (654.129 Hz)<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>22%<\/span><\/li><li>Modulations:<\/li><ul><li><span>Lfo 1<\/span> \u2192 <span>Cutoff<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/ul><h3>Envelope Settings<\/h3><h4>Envelope 1 (Amp)<\/h4><ul><li>Attack: <span>44 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>16 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO Settings<\/h3><h4>LFO 1<\/h4><ul><li>Mode: <span>Trigger<\/span><\/li><li>Sync: <span>Tempo<\/span><\/li><li>Tempo: <span>4\/1<\/span><\/li><li>Shape: <span>Triangle (custom)<\/span><\/li><li>Destinations:<\/li><ul><li><span>Voice Transpose<\/span> (amount <span>38%<\/span>)<\/li><li><span>Filter 1 Cutoff<\/span> (amount <span>30%<\/span>)<\/li><\/ul><\/ul><h3>Effects Processing (Ordered)<\/h3><h4>Chorus<\/h4><ul><li>Voices: <span>4<\/span><\/li><li>Sync: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>Tempo<\/span>)<\/li><li>Tempo: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>4\/1<\/span>)<\/li><li>Depth: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>50%<\/span>)<\/li><li>Delay 1: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>2.0 ms<\/span>)<\/li><li>Delay 2: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>7.8 ms<\/span>)<\/li><li>Feedback: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Mix: <span>20%<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>1157.3 Hz<\/span><\/li><li>Spread: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>1<\/span>)<\/li><\/ul><h4>Eq<\/h4><ul><li>Low Cutoff: <span>745.482 Hz<\/span><\/li><li>Low Resonance: <span>16%<\/span><\/li><li>Low Gain: <span>-15 dB<\/span><\/li><li>Band Cutoff: <span>2659.568 Hz<\/span><\/li><li>Band Resonance: <span>16%<\/span><\/li><li>Band Gain: <span>5 dB<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4>Filter Fx<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>100%<\/span>)<\/li><li>Model: <span>Analog<\/span><\/li><li>Style: <span>12dB Slope<\/span><\/li><li>Blend: <span>Low Pass (0)<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>106% (21096.164 Hz)<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h4>Reverb<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>39%<\/span><\/li><li>Size: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Chorus Amount: <span>5%<\/span><\/li><li>Chorus Frequency: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>0.250 Hz<\/span>)<\/li><li>Time: <span>0.740 s<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Modulation Matrix<\/h3><ul><li><span>LFO 1<\/span> \u2192 <span>Voice Transpose<\/span> <span>38%<\/span><\/li><li><span>LFO 1<\/span> \u2192 <span>Filter 1 Cutoff<\/span> <span>30%<\/span><\/li><\/ul>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zoolook\">Zoolook Album (Wikipedia)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthsequences.com\/post\/jean-michel-jarre-zoolook-1984\">Jean-Michel Jarre: Zoolook (1984) -
