Recording Notes

  • The synth pad was likely created using the Roland Juno-106's built-in chorus effect to create a lush, wide sound.
  • Slight detuning or ensemble effects may have been used to thicken the sound further.
  • The original recording may have used a mixing console for EQ and level adjustments.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a basic sawtooth or pulse wave on a Roland Juno-106 or a similar synthesizer.
  • Apply a chorus effect to thicken the sound and create a sense of spaciousness.
  • Slightly detune one of the oscillators to create a subtle beating effect.
  • Use a low-pass filter to mellow the sound and remove any harsh high frequencies.
  • Adjust the filter envelope to add some movement and dynamics to the sound.
