The metallic, airy lead that enters at 0:13 was created using a single guitar note that was sampled, looped, and processed to achieve a built-in vibrato effect, then played back from a keyboard. Here, we'll recreate it using just a synth, utilizing FM for the metallic guitar-tone.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/depeche-mode-policy-of-truth","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>Sustain: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>350 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillators<\/h3><ul><li>FM Amount: <span>25%<\/span><\/li><li>Carrier<ul><li>Waveform: <span>Saw<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Modulator<ul><li>Waveform: <span>Sine<\/span><\/li><li>Pitch: <span>+16<\/span> Semitones<\/li><li>Volume: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Unison<ul><li>Oscillators: <span>All<\/span><\/li><li>Voice Count: <span>4<\/span><\/li><li>Detune Range: <span>8<\/span> Cents<\/li><li>Stereo Spread: <span>20%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Reset All Oscillators Phase On Note Start: <span>No<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter<\/h3><ul><li>Type: <span>Low Pass<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>70%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Modulation Amount: <span>15%<\/span><\/li><li>Attack: <span>0 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>550 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>10000 ms<\/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>40%<\/span> Wet<\/li><li>Size: <span>Medium<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","observations":"Likely made with a guitar sample, but we'll try to get close with just a synth","sources":"<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Policy_of_Truth\">Policy of Truth (Wikipedia)<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dmlive.wiki\/wiki\/Policy_Of_Truth\">Policy Of Truth - Depeche Mode Live Wiki<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DHn05YPRK1Y\">DX5 Playing DM \"Policy of Truth\" (updated) - YouTube<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","community_thread_url":"","patch_id":"","decade":"1990s","release_year":1990,"syntorial_essentials_lesson":"","syntorial_essentials_level":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-recipes\/57941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-recipes"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/preset-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=57941"},{"taxonomy":"preset-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/preset-type?post=57941"},{"taxonomy":"synthesizer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.syntorial.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/synthesizer?post=57941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
