Recording Notes

• The lead synth sound in "Policy of Truth" is characterized by its bright and slightly detuned sawtooth wave, likely created using a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5.
• The Roland Dimension D chorus adds width and subtle movement to the sound.
• A Lexicon PCM70 or similar digital reverb unit would have been used to create the spacious delay effect.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth waveform on a subtractive synthesizer.
• Add a subtle chorus effect to thicken the sound and create a sense of movement. The Roland Dimension D is a great option.
• Use a digital delay with a short delay time and moderate feedback to create a subtle rhythmic effect.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to shape the tone and create a bright, cutting sound.
• Experiment with detuning the oscillators slightly to create a more organic and dynamic sound.
