Recording Notes

  • The synth sound was likely created using the SuperSaw waveform on the Roland JP-8000.
  • The sound's characteristic pluck and metallic edge were achieved through careful envelope shaping and filter settings.
  • Additional processing might have been applied during mixing to enhance its presence and fit within the song's overall sonic landscape.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a SuperSaw waveform on a virtual or hardware synth.
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve the desired metallic edge.
  • Use a short, sharp envelope for the filter and amplitude to create the pluck sound.
  • Experiment with chorus or detuning effects to fatten the sound.
  • EQ to taste, focusing on the high-mid frequencies to enhance clarity and brightness.
