Quote from the interview with the Song Exploder podcast, on the topic of the "Time to Pretend" song and debut album Oracular Spectacular.

They’re just [laughter], they’re synths in Reason, like everything pretty much is, you know, one of the stock synthesizers that comes with the program. And in college, in our spare time, we just spent a lot of time messing around with those synths, and trying to see what kinds of crazy noises we could get out of them.
