It is clearly audible around 1:35 in the single and throughout the instrumental interludes. The tone is thin in the low end and wide\/smearing in the upper harmonics, often reproduced with unison\/stacking, pulse-width movement, and a high-pass approach. Numerous recreations and discussions attribute the effect to vintage polyphonic lead\/string synths and Juno\/Polymoog-style patches.","audio_clip":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/audiblegenius\/visage-fade-to-grey-lead?utm_medium=api&utm_campaign=social_sharing&utm_source=id_300780","recipe":"<div><h3>Voices<\/h3><ul><li>Voice Mode: <span>Poly<\/span><\/li><li>Voice Count: <span>6<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Amp Envelope<\/h3><ul><li>Attack: <span>0 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Decay: <span>1900 ms<\/span><\/li><li>Sustain: <span>0%<\/span><\/li><li>Release: <span>1600 ms<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Oscillators<\/h3><ul><li>Oscillator <span>1<\/span><ul><li>Waveform: <span>Pulse<\/span><\/li><li>Pulse Width: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><li>Pitch: <span>+4<\/span> Cents<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Oscillator <span>2<\/span><ul><li>Waveform: <span>Pulse<\/span><\/li><li>Pulse Width: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><li>Pitch: <span>+1 Octave and -14 Cents<\/span><\/li><li>Volume: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Sub Oscillator<ul><li>Waveform: <span>Pulse<\/span><\/li><li>Pulse Width: <span>100%<\/span><\/li><li>Pitch: <span>-1<\/span> Octave<\/li><li>Volume: <span>40%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Unison<ul><li>Oscillators: <span>All<\/span><\/li><li>Voice Count: <span>4<\/span><\/li><li>Detune Range: <span>4<\/span> Cents<\/li><li>Stereo Spread: <span>50%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Reset All Oscillators Phase On Note Start: <span>No<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>Filter<\/h3><ul><li>Type: <span>High Pass<\/span><\/li><li>Cutoff: <span>60%<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>","observations":"","sources":"<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fade_to_Grey_(Visage_song)\">Fade to Grey (Visage song) (Wikipedia)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricity-club.co.uk\/vintage-synth-trumps-with-billy-currie\/\">Vintage Synth Trumps with BILLY CURRIE (The Electricity Club)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matrixsynth.com\/2021\/07\/how-to-synthesise-sounds-of-visage-fade.html\">How to synthesise the sounds of Visage: Fade To Grey (MatrixSynth)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/juggernautmusic.com\/2019\/09\/fade-to-grey-analog-synth-cover-by-steve-coen\/\">Why (and How) did I cover Visage's \u201cFade To Grey\u201d?
