Delegation - What Took You So Long (1982)




Something I don't have enough of on this list is resonant synth bass lines. By resonant, I just mean a synth bass patch that has the resonant knob up high enough to make it have that nasally sound. Much like how when you hold your nostrils closed, you get a funny voice, turning up the resonant knob gives your bass patch a quality similar quality.

I've been meaning to do a video lately about what synths actually are. a lot of people think they are this really complicated thing, but in most cases, they are volume envelopes and filter envelopes, over top of simple wave forms. A lot of the character actually comes from how they are utilized and how they are played.

You can hear the envelope of the filter is actually accentuated by the relatively high amount of resonance. Such a lovely sound.
