Recording Notes

  • The synth sound is likely created using a Roland Juno-106, a popular synthesizer from the 80s and 90s known for its warm and lush analog sound.
  • The sound is characterized by a sawtooth wave with a resonant filter and slight chorus effect.
  • The signal was likely recorded directly into a mixing console.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth waveform on a Roland Juno-106 (or a similar analog synth).
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve a bright and resonant tone.
  • Add a slight chorus effect to thicken the sound.
  • Experiment with detuning one of the oscillators to create a wider stereo image.
  • Adjust the ADSR envelope for a quick attack and moderate sustain.
