The nasal, organ-style lead melody, originally sampled from a Stylophone, creates the song's most memorable hook with its lo-fi, compressed character that cuts through the mix with a distinctly retro electronic texture. Here we make a very close remake using FM synthesis and Filter Drive to that narrow nasal Stylophone sound. You can hear this characteristic lead melody prominently throughout the song, particularly during the main melodic sections that build the track's hypnotic, upward-climbing progression.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/bag-raiders-shooting-stars","audio_clip_native":"https:\/\/syntorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/PatchFactory\/BySong\/Bag%20Raiders\/Shooting%20Stars\/Lead\/Bag%20Raiders%20-%20Shooting%20Stars%20-%20Lead.mp3","recipe":"<h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: <span>Mono<\/span><\/li><li>Legato: <span>On<\/span><\/li><li>Glide Time: <span>0.002 s<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillator Setup<\/h3><h4>Oscillator 1<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Wavetable: <span>Basic Shapes<\/span><\/li><li>Wave Frame: <span>Triangle (position 86)<\/span><\/li><li>Routing: <span>Filter 1<\/span><\/li><li>Random Phase: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Morph:<\/li><ul><li>Wave Morph Amount: <span>52%<\/span><\/li><li>Wave Morph Type: <span>FM &lt;- Osc 2<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/ul><h4>Oscillator 2<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Wavetable: <span>Basic Shapes<\/span><\/li><li>Wave Frame: <span>Sine (position 0)<\/span><\/li><li>Routing: <span>Filter 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>24dB Slope<\/span><\/li><li>Blend: <span>Low Pass (0)<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>106% (21096.164 Hz)<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>22%<\/span><\/li><li>Drive: <span>21%<\/span><\/li><li>Keytrack: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Envelope Settings<\/h3><h4>Envelope 1 (Amp)<\/h4><ul><li>Attack: <span>7 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>47 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO Settings<\/h3><h4>LFO 1<\/h4><ul><li>Mode: <span>Trigger<\/span><\/li><li>Sync: <span>Tempo Dotted<\/span><\/li><li>Tempo: <span>1\/16<\/span><\/li><li>Shape: <span>Triangle<\/span><\/li><li>Destinations:<\/li><ul><li><span>Voice Tune<\/span> (amount <span>0%<\/span>)<\/li><\/ul><\/ul><h3>Effects Processing (Ordered)<\/h3><h4>Eq<\/h4><ul><li>Low Cutoff: <span>756.879 Hz<\/span><\/li><li>Low Resonance: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>32%<\/span>)<\/li><li>Low Gain: <span>-15 dB<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Modulation Matrix<\/h3><ul><li><span>LFO 1<\/span> \u2192 <span>Voice Tune<\/span> <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li><span>Mod Wheel<\/span> \u2192 <span>Modulation 1 Amount<\/span> <span>24%<\/span><\/li><\/ul>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=05OM6K5c_fI\">The Making Of - Shooting Stars (Luke Million Recreation) (YouTube)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qnso8Sk19A0\">How to make the sounds from Bag Raiders 'Shooting Stars' with DRC and DLYM (YouTube)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/2Af1ZuS08Ww\">How to: Bag Raiders \"Shooting Stars\" Lead Synth in Serum (YouTube)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thesynthesizersympathizer.com\/2011\/08\/bag-raiders-interview.html\">Bag Raiders Interview - The Synthesizer Sympathizer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","community_thread_url":"","patch_id":"bag raiders|shooting stars|lead","decade":"2000s","release_year":2009,"syntorial_essentials_lesson":"","syntorial_essentials_level":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-recipes\/58145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-recipes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/preset-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=58145"},{"taxonomy":"preset-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-type?post=58145"},{"taxonomy":"synthesizer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/synthesizer?post=58145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
