What kind of synth does lights use

So this is a bright version of the bass. Let me bring the contour, which is the filter envelope amount back up to where we want the sound to start. Yeah so we want them to go from that bright toward that cutoff. We bring the sustain level all the way down to zero, which is the cutoff. And then we raise the decay until…about there. So it starts a little brighter and gets darker.

Apparently the key step is resonance. Kinda gives it a wah-ish effect. Whenever you have a filter envelope in use, you can increase the resonance to really show what the envelope does and essentially give it a kinda wah effect. Now, volume-wise…bring it back up. Now the only difference is, this is very narrow in the center. If you bring it too low, you get weird sounds. If you bring it too high, you hear separate notes.

So, just right. No damping, no resonance. Feedback: too little and the sound starts to go away. Too much and you feed back, so boom. Narrow bass.

Soon he was using the machine to do practically everything he needed, recording various parts—drums, leads, gravelly noises—into Logic and then arranging tracks on his computer.

He used the same approach on his latest release, The Illusion of an Alternative Choice , out soon on Peder Mannerfelt Produktion, only allowing himself the occasional delay or reverb to flesh out the sound. Drums clank, synth leads shiver, and white noise blasts like a broken radiator.
