Clean Bandit's Rather Be was a Grammy-winning, world-dominating hit. Released in 2014, the song soared to number one in the UK before becoming the seventh single to go three-times Platinum, later topping the charts in 11 other countries.
If you know the song, you'll undoubtedly know its catchy, staccato hook, which first appears in the intro's strings but is later echoed in a bouncy synth line in the verses. In a recent interview with the Tape Notes podcast, Clean Bandit's Jack Patterson has revealed how the patch used in that synth line - which can also be heard across a number of the group's other hits - was designed.
