Lo-fi percussion & a hypnotic bassline

Percussion sound

hile Trio used the inexpensive portable synthesizer Casio VL-1 for the distinctive percussion sound in 1981, Boys Noize relies on a more modern variant. So. An oscillator with the square wave is sufficient for the desired clicking percussion sound. The VCA envelope is to be set percussive, with minimal and values and short and times. We increase to 4.00 for a subtle portamento effect. A plate reverb effect such as IK Multimedia CSR Plate Reverb [2] provides the desired spatiality. The percussion sound plays a one-bar eighth note sequence on the notes G # and D # over four octaves.
