Recording Notes

• The Roland Juno-106 is a likely candidate for the synth pad sounds, given Daft Punk's known use of the instrument.
• The E-mu SP-1200 could have been used for sampling and additional processing to provide a warm, filtered sound.
• API 550 EQ was likely used to shape the overall tone, contributing to the pads' characteristic sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Roland Juno-106 or similar analog polysynth.
• Create a basic pad sound with a slow attack and moderate release.
• Use the E-mu SP-1200 to sample and lo-fi the sound.
• Apply gentle EQ with an API 550-style EQ, focusing on the mid-range frequencies to achieve a warm sound.
• Experiment with chorus or ensemble effects for added depth and spaciousness.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to fine-tune the brightness and character of the pad.
