Tone Profile
A bright, slightly detuned, and punchy analog-style synth lead with prominent chorus and reverb, reminiscent of 80s pop.
Signal Chain
Instrument: Roland Juno-106 (or emulation like TAL-U-NO-LX)
Amp: Synth Engine (Sawtooth + possibly Square wave oscillator)
Processing: Built-in Juno Chorus (I+II), EQ (High-shelf boost), Reverb (Hall or Plate), Compression (Light)
Other: Fast attack, moderate decay/sustain envelope. Slight LFO pitch modulation for subtle wobble. Filter cutoff moderately high.
Recording Notes
- Likely recorded directly from the synth or via a software emulation.
- The sound heavily relies on the characteristic Juno chorus effect.
- Potentially layered with another subtle synth patch for fullness.
- Produced by Dan Nigro, known for polished pop productions often featuring analog or analog-modeled synths.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a sawtooth wave oscillator.
- Engage a Juno-style chorus effect; try combining both modes if available.
- Set a fast attack and medium decay/sustain on the amplitude envelope.
- Adjust the filter cutoff to be bright but not harsh.
- Add a subtle pitch LFO for a slight detuning effect.
- Use a hall or plate reverb with a moderate decay time.
- Apply light compression to even out the dynamics.
