Daft Punk “Discovery” Remake Projects

This pack contains the four Ableton Live Projects featured in my Daft Punk “Discovery” Synth Sounds article, which are:

  • Aerodynamic
  • Short Circuit
  • Veridis Quo
  • Voyager

I’d started preparing this article to post around the anniversary of “Discovery”, however Daft Punk broke up before then, so I ended up pulling an all-nighter to get this out the day after they broke up. They’re fun remakes of original, inventive songs. I’d read that they relied on the Roland Juno-106 more than people usually credit them for, so I relied on TAL U-NO-LX for most of the synth parts and found it did a great job.

Note that the Aerodynamic project only recreates the ending synth section featured in the article, not the entire song. The other three remakes are all of the complete songs.
