Interestingly, the bassline wasn’t programmed with Da Funk in mind, it was just one of a few bass lines that Bangalter had programmed on his TB-303, and the one that best fit Da Funk. Halfway through the song, the kick drum drops out and an acid bassline is introduced. This is a follow-up to last year’s Daft Punk’s Discovery Synth Sounds article, which I recommend checking out after this one!
#Homework daft punk songs for free
I’ve recreated Da Funk and Around the World and the presets that I created for the remakes are available for free download at the end of the article. This article focuses on the synth sounds of Homework and how to recreate them using modern softsynths. They used E-mu SP1200, Ensoniq ASR-10 and Roland S-760 samplers alongside a host of effects, sequencers, and mixers. The gear listed is mostly vintage Roland, including a Juno-106, MC-202, MKS-80 and a TB-303 alongside a digital Sequential Prophet-VS.įor drum machines, they listed the LinnDrum and Roland TR-707, TR-808 and TR-909 as the drum machines used on the Homework. In a 1999 interview with a Japanese magazine, Daft Punk listed all the gear used on Homework and even outlined their typical recording process. In a 1997 interview, Thomas Bangalter stated that “The Homework title relates to the fact that we made the record at home, very cheaply, and very quickly and spontaneously, trying to do cool stuff.” Many of the songs on Homework had been made to play live in clubs, so the album has a raw, live feel to it. They hadn’t planned to release an album, but they’d spent five months recording tracks and decided they had enough material for an album. On January 20th, 1997 – 25 years ago today – Daft Punk released their debut album, Homework.
