Recording Notes

• A resonant filter is swept over the sawtooth wave to create a dynamic and evolving texture.
• The sound is created using a sawtooth waveform as its base.
• Stereo widening techniques are employed to create a spacious and immersive soundscape.
• The original Virus TI synth engine offers precise control over modulation, allowing for intricate filter sweeps and evolving textures.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth waveform in your synth of choice.
• Use a resonant low-pass or band-pass filter and automate the cutoff frequency to create a sweeping effect.
• Experiment with different filter types and resonance settings to find the sweet spot.
• Add chorus or a stereo widener plugin to create a sense of spaciousness.
• Use LFOs or envelopes to modulate parameters like filter cutoff, resonance, and panning for added movement and interest.
• Pay attention to the timing and depth of your modulations to achieve a similar rhythmic pulse as the original.
• Consider using a high-quality digital reverb with a long decay time to add depth and ambience.
