Recording Notes

• The synth sound was created using a blend of analog synthesis and creative processing techniques.
• Distortion was added to give the synth a grittier and more aggressive tone.
• Subtle chorus or stereo widening effects were used to enhance the spatial presence of the synth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on a virtual analog synthesizer.
• Add a moderate amount of distortion using a distortion pedal or plugin.
• Experiment with chorus or ensemble effects to create a sense of width and depth.
• Use a filter with a slight resonance to shape the tone and add character.
• Fine-tune the detune settings to achieve the desired level of instability and movement.
• Adjust the envelope settings to control the attack and decay of the sound.
