The nasal, wobbly lead that enters at 50 seconds creates a distinctly processed, robotic character that complements the song's mechanized aesthetic. Their video shows a guitar playing it, but it's so processed we can get close with a synth. OUr patch utilizes a narrow pulse width and band-pass filtering techniques with smear and wobble courtesy of Unison and LFO vibrato.. You can hear this distinctive synthesizer lead make its entrance at the 50-second mark, cutting through the mix with its characteristic nasal wobble and electronic vibrato.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/devo-time-out-for-fun-lead","recipe":"<div><h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: <span>Mono<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Amp Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Attack: <span>0 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>1000 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>20 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillators<\/h3><ul><li>Oscillator <span>1<\/span><ul><li>Waveform: <span>Pulse<\/span><\/li><li>Pulse Width: <span>20%<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Unison<ul><li>Oscillators: <span>All<\/span><\/li><li>Voice Count: <span>4<\/span><\/li><li>Detune Range: <span>29<\/span> Cents<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Reset All Oscillators Phase On Note Start: <span>No<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter<\/h3><ul><li>Type: <span>Band Pass<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>65%<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>65%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO<\/h3><ul><li>Destination: <span>Pitch<\/span><\/li><li>Waveform: <span>Triangle<\/span><\/li><li>Amount: <span>70<\/span> Cents<\/li><li>Rate: <span>1\/16 Note<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Chorus<\/h3><ul><li>Mix: <span>50%<\/span> Wet<\/li><li>Rate: <span>Slow<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QYCrVI-KlTE\">How Devo Made \"Whip It\" | Synth Sounds of Devo EP29 (YouTube)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthhistory.com\/post\/interview-with-mark-mothersbaugh\">Interview With Mark Mothersbaugh - Synth History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/reverb.com\/news\/the-synths-of-devo\">The Synths and Studio Techniques of Devo | Reverb News<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alanbumstead.wordpress.com\/2012\/03\/15\/devo-oh-no-its-devo-1982\/\">Devo, Oh, No It's Devo, 1982 - alanbumstead<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","community_thread_url":"https:\/\/audiblegenius.productlift.dev\/p\/patch-request-devo-time-out-for-fun-bvfLDl","patch_id":"","decade":"1980s","release_year":1982,"syntorial_essentials_lesson":"Filter Types and Resonance","syntorial_essentials_level":"21.
