OP-Z ripping 80s lead settings?

OP-Z
#1

Hello,

I’m trying to recreate a ripping and squealing 80s lead on the OP-Z. Used in a lot of funky tracks, high pitched and often on a solo with a run of notes and the last held with some rapid vibrato/pitch modulation.

I guess I’m thinking of something like the lead on Les Rythmes Digitales (hey you) what’s that sound? (ironically well named reference track) but it’s on other tracks on that album:

Also on Girls by Prodigy at about 50secs, I’m sure Daft Punk have some similar sounds.

And I heard it a gear4music video on the SH-01a with it too.

What synth would have originally made this sound? I see on equipboard that LRD used an SH-101 plus some DX and TX synths, Liam Howlett has every synth under the sun so tough to tell.

Anyways… any advice on settings to get that on the OP-Z?

Here is the settings I’ve tried so far, but thinking someone has already nailed that sound…

Would be nice if the pitch bend on the OP-Z could be mapped to alter vibrato. (can it?)

Thanks

No but the gyroscope can…which is very similar.

Interesting, I’ve never tried the gyroscope. Thanks.

Short Circuit by Daft Punk is definitely that sound I’m after and I just found an article recreating it which might help:
