In 1979, Numan released his debut solo album <em>The Pleasure Principle<\/em>\u00a0and a new era of popular music was born, heralded by distinctive synth sounds.<\/p>\n<p>The radical new soundscapes Numan crafted were achieved by feeding vintage synthesizers through effects pedals to achieve innovative sounds that many still look to replicate now:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The legendary MiniMoog provided the musical underpinning for much of Numan\u2019s work; the pulsing, fuzzy bass sound forming the foundation for tracks like \u2018M.E.\u2019 and \u2018Metal\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>On top, the distinctive \u2018Vox Humana\u2019 patch on an original PolyMoog added an instantly recognisable warbly strings-esque sound that can be heard all over the \u2018Machine\u2019 era albums, notably the high-pitched strings on \u2018Cars\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Finishing off the holy trinity of Numan synths is the ARP Odyssey which is all over\u00a0<em>Telekon<\/em>\u00a0but has its own solo in \u2018On Broadway- Live\u2019. One of the most unique synth sounds available at the time, this often provided the musical flourishes that gave Numan tracks their effortless sheen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here, we\u2019ll give some options at various price points about how you can unlock Numan\u2019s sounds in a variety of formats.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beginner\"><\/span>Beginner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The basis of all Gary Numan songs is that iconic, full-bodied synth bass sound.
