Recording Notes

• The synth sound is relatively dry, suggesting it was recorded direct or with minimal ambience.
• The portamento or glide effect between notes is a key element of the sound.

Recreation Tips

• Add a touch of distortion or overdrive for a slightly aggressive edge.
• Start with a sawtooth or square wave oscillator.
• Add a slight glide or portamento between notes.
• Use a high-pass filter to clean up low-end rumble.
