Recording Notes

• The Roland Juno-106's filter and envelope generators are key to the sound's characteristic movement.
• The DOD 250 provides the core distortion, adding saturation and harmonic complexity.
• The Electro-Harmonix Small Stone adds a subtle phaser effect, thickening the sound and creating a swirling texture.
• Experiment with filter cutoff and resonance settings on the Juno-106 to shape the tone and create dynamic movement.
• The filter envelope should be set to modulate the filter cutoff, creating the signature filter sweep.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on the Roland Juno-106.
• Add a moderate amount of distortion with the DOD 250. Adjust the gain to taste.
• Use a subtle phaser effect from the Electro-Harmonix Small Stone to add movement and texture.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance on the Juno-106 to shape the tone.
• Use the filter envelope to modulate the filter cutoff, creating the signature filter sweep.
• Experiment with different settings on the Juno-106, DOD 250, and Electro-Harmonix Small Stone to fine-tune the sound.
