Tone Profile

The bass synth has a solid, slightly rubbery square wave tone with a resonant filter sweep adding movement and character. It's a driving, melodic bassline that's both punchy and slightly quirky.

Recording Notes

  • The Roland SH-101 was likely used to create the bassline. The filter envelope would have been adjusted to create the resonant sweep.
  • A mixing console was used for EQ and compression.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a square wave on a Roland SH-101 or similar analog synth.
  • Use the filter envelope to create a subtle resonant sweep synced to the song's tempo.
  • Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics and make it punchy.
  • Experiment with chorus or flanger effects for subtle width.
