Hej!

In 1982, Thomas Morgan Robertson ("Dolby"), on his first album: "The Golden Age of Wireless" ...
... he had some digital sounding chords on the "Cloudburst" track. Think he used a PPG? :ugeek:
So I was determined I could do that on my trusty old NLA1. Yup! Pretty damn close!
I need to explore more of the "digital" sides of the NLA1. This was another good exercise. :)
(I need to join a band soon ... so much unused gear ... open for offers/auditions ...)

Recipe
Osc: digital = d3 (sounded close, try the other d*:s too?), 2:nd osc detuned = dEt, detune 0.16 (for a nice chorus effect)
Filter: LP24, freq 5.0, res 3.0, mod env 0-3.1-0, mod env amt 3.0
Amp: 0-4.5-4.0
