Creating the lead sound from Talking Heads Burning Down The House on Prophet-5

I only mention this at the end of the video, but the way I hear it in the original, the filter in this sound is wide open. The character comes mainly from the combination of pulse waves, detuned unison, and oscillator sync. I focus mainly on the oscillator, unison and glide settings but the envelope settings are also quite attack and release, sustain all the way up. Some tips on creating this on a Prophet-6: - to get a fresh “init patch“: While holding down the PRESET button, press the WRITE button - to set the number of Unison voices: Hold down UNISON button, use the BANK/DECREMENT and TENS/INCREMENT buttons to set the number of voices - to set Unison detune amount, use the SLOP knob - to get Osc A to have both saw and square/pulse waves, set the SHAPE knob to 2 o’clock (halfway between saw and square shapes)
