Recording Notes

  • The lead sound was created using a PPG Wave 2.2. The raw sound was then processed to add stereo width and depth.
  • The Roland Dimension D Chorus provides a lush, subtle chorus effect. Lexicon PCM70 added ambient delay and reverb.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth wave on a PPG Wave 2.2 (or emulation) and adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to get a bright, slightly resonant tone.
  • Add a chorus effect, such as the Roland Dimension D, to thicken the sound and create stereo width.
  • Use a digital delay like the Lexicon PCM70 to add space and depth to the sound. Experiment with delay time and feedback to achieve the desired effect.
