I came across this NIN track (Letting Go While Holding On) whilst watching the Adam Curtis documentary 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' and my immediate thought was, can the SY1000 sound close to this track in one patch with no outboard effects?

The answer is it can get pretty close -

An OSC Synth holds dual saw synth tuned to a 5th on a low A CTL 1 and a Dynamic synth plays a triangle wave synth 2 + another OSC triangle for synth 3 up an octave CTL2 

There's lots of modulated delay and reverb on everything and 3 X Wave pedals are assigned to move the filters, resonance and modulation effects around to create a lovely evolving patch. Some chorus is thrown in for good measure too to get a saturated effect.

I cross faded a new held chord towards the end and went into a short ambient jam.

I love how organic the SY1000 can be
