Tone Profile

The synth lead has a distorted, resonant, and slightly detuned sound, characteristic of analog synthesizers pushed to their limits. It's aggressive and robotic, with a strong emphasis on the mid-range frequencies.

Recording Notes

• The synth sound is heavily distorted and processed to achieve its aggressive character.
• The Roland Juno-106's built-in chorus adds a subtle layer of movement and thickness.
• Distortion is a key element, likely achieved by overdriving a preamp or using a distortion pedal.
• The track was produced by Daft Punk.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on an analog-style synth like the Roland Juno-106.
• Use the Juno's chorus to add thickness.
• Apply a distortion pedal (such as a Pro Co RAT) or overdrive to get the aggressive tone.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to find the sweet spot, emphasizing the mid-range frequencies.
• Slightly detune the oscillators for a fatter, more unstable sound.
• Experiment with EQ to further sculpt the tone.
