Tone Profile

The synth lead has a bright, slightly metallic, and cutting tone that is still smooth. It's a classic 80s synth sound with a touch of chorus and subtle delay.

Recording Notes

• The Roland Jupiter-8 was a key synthesizer used by Duran Duran.
• The Dimension D chorus gives a wide and lush texture.
• The Space Echo provides a subtle, rhythmic delay that adds depth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on a synthesizer.
• Add a chorus effect with a wide stereo image, similar to the Roland Dimension D.
• Use a tape delay plugin for a warm, slightly degraded delay sound.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve the desired brightness without harshness.
