Recording Notes

• The Minimoog was likely recorded direct into the mixing console.
• The raw, unfiltered sound suggests minimal processing during recording.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on a monophonic analog synthesizer.
• Use a square wave to modulate the pitch a little bit for slight detune.
• Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve the desired brightness and bite.
• Employ a fast attack and decay envelope on the amplifier to create a punchy, percussive sound.
• Experiment with slight overdrive or distortion to add aggression.
