Recording Notes

• The synth sound is built around a Roland Juno-106, a classic polysynth known for its warm and lush tones.
• A Roland Dimension D Chorus adds width and subtle movement to the sound, enhancing its spatial presence.
• A Pro Co RAT distortion pedal is used to add a touch of grit and harmonic complexity, giving the synth a slightly aggressive edge.
• The combination of chorus and distortion creates a unique, textured sound that's both smooth and edgy.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a saw or square wave on a Roland Juno-106 (or similar analog polysynth).
• Add a subtle chorus effect to widen the sound and create movement.
• Use a Pro Co RAT with a low to medium gain setting to add subtle distortion and saturation.
• Experiment with EQ to shape the tone and remove any unwanted frequencies.
• Adjust the chorus and distortion settings to taste, balancing warmth and aggression.
