This distinctive sound is a key element of the song's atmospheric and introspective opening section. The sound is often attributed to Richard Wright's use of the VCS3 synthesizer, which was a staple in Pink Floyd's early electronic music endeavors. We'll recreate this sound with just a single synth patch.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/pink-floyd-shine-on-your-crazy","recipe":"<div><h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: <span>Mono<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Amp Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Attack: <span>1050 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>10000 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>80 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillators<\/h3><ul><li>Oscillator <span>1<\/span><ul><li>Waveform: <span>Saw<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter<\/h3><ul><li>Type: <span>Low Pass<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>60%<\/span><\/li><li>Resonance: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Modulation Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Destination: <span>Pitch<\/span><\/li><li>Modulation Amount: <span>18<\/span> Semitones<\/li><li>Attack: <span>0 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>10 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>10 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>LFO<\/h3><ul><li>Destination: <span>Pitch<\/span><\/li><li>Waveform: <span>Triangle<\/span><\/li><li>Amount: <span>42<\/span> Cents<\/li><li>Rate: <span>1\/8 Note<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Chorus<\/h3><ul><li>Mix: <span>50%<\/span> Wet<\/li><li>Rate: <span>Slow<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Reverb<\/h3><ul><li>Mix: <span>20%<\/span> Wet<\/li><li>Size: <span>Medium<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7SaKh1yLzWU\">Pink Floyd - Shine On Your Crazy Diamond intro string pad - sound design tutorial (YouTube)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g-0V3Z8O6XU\">Recreate That Sound | Shine On You Crazy Diamond [Synth Lead] (YouTube)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicradar.com\/news\/pink-floyd-best-synth-sound\">The 40 greatest synth sounds of all time, No 6: Pink Floyd - Shine On...
