The tone is made from two thin pulse waves an octave apart with a long release and a 16th-note amplitude LFO that creates delay-like repeition, allowing each note to stack on the previous, creating fading and morphing chords. A strongly resonant low-pass filter with sweeping movement gives the sound its phasey, sweeping character. The part sits high in the mix as the track\u2019s distinctive plucked-key hook.","audio_clip":null,"audio_clip_native":"https:\/\/syntorial.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/PatchFactory\/BySong\/Kraftwerk\/Neon%20Lights\/Keys\/Kraftwerk%20-%20Neon%20Lights%20-%20Keys.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>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Wavetable: <span>Basic Shapes<\/span><\/li><li>Wave Frame: <span>Thin Pulse (position 237)<\/span><\/li><li>Routing: <span>Filter 1<\/span><\/li><li>Random Phase: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Unison Detune: <span>2%<\/span><\/li><li>Morph:<\/li><ul><li>Wave Morph Amount: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><li>Modulations:<\/li><ul><li><span>Lfo 2<\/span> \u2192 <span>Level<\/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>Thin Pulse (position 256)<\/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 Detune: <span>2%<\/span><\/li><li>Morph:<\/li><ul><li>Wave Morph Amount: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><li>Modulations:<\/li><ul><li><span>Lfo 2<\/span> \u2192 <span>Level<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/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>106% (21096.164 Hz)<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>80%<\/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>2 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>3.28 s<\/span><\/li><li>Release Curve: <span>Exponential<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO Settings<\/h3><h4>LFO 1<\/h4><ul><li>Mode: <span>Sync<\/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>Filter 1 Cutoff<\/span> (amount <span>73%<\/span>)<\/li><\/ul><\/ul><h4>LFO 2<\/h4><ul><li>Mode: <span>Trigger<\/span><\/li><li>Sync: <span>Tempo<\/span><\/li><li>Tempo: <span>1\/16<\/span><\/li><li>Shape: <span>Triangle (custom)<\/span><\/li><li>Destinations:<\/li><ul><li><span>Osc 1 Level<\/span> (amount <span>9%<\/span>)<\/li><li><span>Osc 2 Level<\/span> (amount <span>85%<\/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>19%<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>17047.0 Hz<\/span><\/li><li>Spread: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>1<\/span>)<\/li><\/ul><h4>Reverb<\/h4><ul><li>Mix: <span>19%<\/span><\/li><li>Size: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>50%<\/span>)<\/li><li>Chorus Amount: <span>5%<\/span><\/li><li>Chorus Frequency: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>0.250 Hz<\/span>)<\/li><li>Time: <span>Default<\/span> (<span>0.000 s<\/span>)<\/li><li>High Shelf Cutoff: <span>82% (3635.136 Hz)<\/span><\/li><li>High Shelf Gain: <span>-6 dB<\/span><\/li><li>Pre High Cutoff: <span>77% (2375.269 Hz)<\/span><\/li><li>Pre Low Cutoff: <span>46% (237.309 Hz)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Modulation Matrix<\/h3><ul><li><span>LFO 1<\/span> \u2192 <span>Filter 1 Cutoff<\/span> <span>73%<\/span><\/li><li><span>LFO 2<\/span> \u2192 <span>Osc 1 Level<\/span> <span>9%<\/span><\/li><li><span>LFO 2<\/span> \u2192 <span>Osc 2 Level<\/span> <span>85%<\/span><\/li><\/ul>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Man-Machine\">The Man-Machine (Wikipedia)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/musictech.com\/guides\/essential-guide\/landmark-productions-kraftwerk-the-man-machine\/\">Landmark Productions: Kraftwerk -
