  • Dua Lipa's 'Houdini' features a gnarly synth sound that's clearly inspired by the lead synths in Daft Punk's 'Robot Rock' and 'Da Funk'. The sound design/synthesis technique used is called hard sync - here's how it works.

    Daft Punk did not create that synth sound. They just sampled the Prophet 5 in Robot Rock from Release the Beast by Breakwater. Also that oscillator sync in Release the Beast is basically just a factory preset with slightly altered settings.

      Yup. People like to think just because they were geniuses that they made every single iconic sound from scratch. Not true at all. Sometimes the most iconic sound are just presets and simple. Take the Gorillaz Clint Eastwood beat for example. It’s literally just a base preset loop 😂

      @@i_like_this7613 most people believe the lead on Da Funk is a Korg MS-20. Though Daft Punk never confirmid this themselves. The lead on Robot Rock is a sample from Released the Beast (1980) by Breakwater and as far as I know is played on a Prophet 5 using a preset "Sync II".

      @@SourJovis It's not just unconfirmed: Daft Punk have not once listed an MS-20 in any of their gearlists, ever. It's likely a Juno (the most often used synth by them, such as on Around The World, Voyager, Aerodynamic, Rock 'n' Roll, Rollin' & Scratchin', could go on) fed through a scream distortion.

    this "daft punk" guitarish synth timbre was all over early 80ies underground future funk punk rock meets.disco. captain future (european soundtrack version) where daft punk sampled it from. many scifi to action tv series, audio.plays and casette albums had this garage synthpop punkish sound. i heard it soany times.

    In the case of Daft Punk, it is famous for being a synthesiser through a distortion pedal. A well known technique used by many in the 1990s.
    Though Dua's producers have certainly only just used digital technology to achieve such results.

      Is that all you gathered from the video? The topic is actually about the sound at the end of “Houdini” and whether it’s a synth or guitar. Dua Lipa is indeed credited with vocals, songwriting, and melodies, but the production of the track involved several talented individuals.
      The credits list Kevin Parker and Danny L Harle as producers, with Harle specifically credited for the synthesizer. Based on my knowledge and the technique of “hard syncing” mentioned, I believe it’s a synthesizer creating that effect, and it’s likely Harle who did the synth lead on the track, possibly inspired by Daft Punk’s work.
      So, it’s worth appreciating the collaborative effort behind this track, with Dua Lipa and her team bringing their unique talents to create something special.
