In a interview with the French Keyboard magazine , Daft Punk listed the following pieces of gear used on Discovery :. The following quote perfectly sums up their approach:. Voyager is a straightforward French House track built around a lush 4-bar chord sequence over a funky bassline and four-to-the-floor drums. The main chord sound in Voyager was likely recorded on the Roland Juno which they had been using live since as early as as well as on the Homework.
The patch uses the sawtooth oscillator with both filters high-pass and low-pass set to halfway, resulting in a mid-range focused sound. The filter envelope is set to 2. The Juno synth pad is layered with some background strings which can be heard most clearly at For this sound, I used the Omnisphere preset Adagio Expressivo which uses samples of real strings. Daft Punk likely used a sample-based Romper hardware synth for this track.
The super-funky bass line is the highlight of Voyager and sounds like another use of the Roland Juno The MIDI programming on the bassline itself is very detailed, making use of 32nd note lengths for short funky notes.
The key to programming the sound on a synth is to set the filter resonance high and find the cutoff sweet spot. Set the envelope amount to 1. Judge for yourself:. Below you can check out my full remake of Voyager using all of these remade sounds. There are three funky background guitar loops, these were likely recorded by Daft Punk and instead of being sampled from a record or sample CD.
Short Circuit is based around two sections, the first has a chopped-up feel and was likely created by sequencing pre-recorded synth samples. The outro features woozy synth chords with a Ryuichi Sakamoto vibe that gradually become more distorted before the song fades out. The first patch has a wide, fast vibrato that comes in after a short delay. This results in a slightly delayed super-wide vibrato, so program short, funky notes for this patch.
There are two bass synths in Short Circuit , the first plays underneath the main vibrato chord stabs and can be created in TAL U-NO-LX with a mix of the sawtooth and full sub oscillators. Set filter cutoff to 3, resonance to 5 and envelope amount to 4. The 2nd bass patch is the resonant sound that comes in 30 seconds into the song.
For this sound, use the sawtooth wave with the sub-oscillator volume at 7. The filter is set up with a long envelope decay and a medium amount of resonance.
I also found setting keyboard tracking to halfway helped in recreating the sound closely. For this patch the Chorus I effect is on, however, the original sound is completely mono.
You can record the Juno in mono by simply only using one of the outputs. Short Circuit ends with a downsampling effect that slowly distorts the entire track. To recreate it I used the updated and improved Redux effect in Ableton Live The drums are from the LinnDrum and the opening snare fill is the LinnDrum snare being repitched layered with the LinnDrum kick. Veridis Quo has a distinct baroque-inspired harmony with some layered flutes providing the main melody. The filter slowly opens and closes as the song plays which was likely done by manually moving the filter cutoff frequency fader while recording the track.
The bass sound is a dark, filtered Arturia Mini V patch with chorus and stereo widening. There is also chorus and stereo widening applied to the DX7 flute and organ sounds that is automated in when the drums are introduced.
The track is baroque-influenced, similar to Veridis Quo , and is made up of three distinct sections. This leads into an extended tapping guitar solo that sounds like the guitar was processed with an envelope follower or a synth filter. Oh ok, maybe you don't understand. I'm not on a soapbox, I'm making a point about how bloody annoying it is to have a thread posted that you're interested in, only to have people post pointless negativity.
Especially when the thread is clearly labeled. That the point. So all of the thick headed people that end up in clearly deadmau5 threads that claim not to like him hopefully get the point. Apparently the point still hasn't been processed by some I'm a fan of Daft Punk, but I have to agree with this. I had the recording of the Coachella performance on my iPod and listened to it on the way to Pukklepop. The performance Pukklepop was the exact same, bar for bar, which makes sense when you consider the enormous task of synchronizing their light show.
Really leaves no room for improv. And I also doubt they had any solo parts available from their early recordings, as it sounded to my ears like they sampled themselves and created mashups and modulated sampled breakdowns with effects. That's another good point, coreographed light shows make it hard to improve much! Been using them since August, very useful and clean sounds! This isn't proof, but uncanny resemblance. In this interview with Daft Punk about Discovery, their main synths are listed.
The and its cousin the are both mentioned. Distortion Effects Pedals. While Daft Punk record analog synths for thick melodies and lead lines, they're also fans of Ableton's built-in synthesizer.

Full CODA magazine page here Daft Punk use Pro Tools to record ideas and demos, which they then take into the studio to record properly.
Pro Tools was used during all stages of recording the tracks for Random Access Memories. Daft Punk's mixing engineer talks about what monitors he uses: "The monitors I used when mixing were the Guzauski-Swist 3as, which I developed with Larry Swist. We had also used them for tracking and Daft Punk liked them so much that they bought a pair. It's a three-way system with tweeters and m Per this screenshot from a late-'90s interview Daft Punk gave to a Japanese publication, Emagic MicroLogic was used during the recording of Homework.
MicroLogic was Emagic's more-affordable, feature-reduced version of Logic in the '90s. MicroLogic was first reviewed by
