Lyrics: Take a single oscillator Producing a drone Send it to the wave shaper Altering the tone This can be a triangle Sawtooth or a square Modulate the pulse width Nobody will care This is how to play the synthesizer This is how to play the synthesizer Now go to the filter bank Low, high, band or notch Fiddle with the cutoff point Pour yourself a Scotch Modern filters oscillate All by themselves It sounds like you're torturing Little metal elves This is how to play the synthesizer This is how to play the synthesizer Nextly, shape the envelope AKA ADSR Attack, delay, sustain, release Which means how loud you are One millisecond to the next Whether you pluck or lurch Or ooze like an organist In a Venusian church This is how to play the synthesizer This is how to play the synthesizer Now you play the synthesizer Don't be lazy now Make it hiss like rattlesnakes Or moo like a cow Crash like a hundred marbles Smashing on the floor You can make a thousand sounds Never heard before This is how to play the synthesizer This is how to play the synthesizer

Lyrics: Take a single oscillator
Producing a drone
Send it to the wave shaper
Altering the tone
This can be a triangle
Sawtooth or a square
Modulate the pulse width
Nobody will care
This is how to play the synthesizer
This is how to play the synthesizer
Now go to the filter bank
Low, high, band or notch
Fiddle with the cutoff point
Pour yourself a Scotch
Modern filters oscillate
All by themselves
It sounds like you're torturing
Little metal elves
This is how to play the synthesizer
This is how to play the synthesizer
Nextly, shape the envelope
AKA ADSR
Attack, delay, sustain, release
Which means how loud you are
One millisecond to the next
Whether you pluck or lurch
Or ooze like an organist
In a Venusian church
This is how to play the synthesizer
This is how to play the synthesizer
Now you play the synthesizer
Don't be lazy now
Make it hiss like rattlesnakes
Or moo like a cow
Crash like a hundred marbles
Smashing on the floor
You can make a thousand sounds
Never heard before
This is how to play the synthesizer
This is how to play the synthesizer
Thank you !! a little correction : attack deCay sustain release :)
Looking forward to the acoustic version
tru that, every new song from TMF is worth two new songs.
The live version is not acoustic, but it has a really punchy bassline and vocoder backing!
hehe
I've learned so much thank you.
Brilliant as always
Oh man I can't wait till this set arrives.
Freakin' great track!
Spooky electric sound.Cool!
Really good song.

Stick the lyrics up too, Claudia!

Well. Let's be clear. This is more about how to make a sound patch/preset :)
Stylish.
