Recording Notes

• The original sound was created using a Roland Jupiter-8 synthesizer.
• The sound is characterized by its bright, square-wave timbre and resonant filter sweeps.
• The direct output of the synthesizer was likely used without additional amp modeling or cabinet simulation.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a square wave oscillator.
• Use a resonant low-pass filter to shape the tone, focusing on a bright but not harsh sound.
• Adjust the filter envelope to create a percussive attack.
• Add a touch of chorus or ensemble effect to thicken the sound.
• Use a clean, transparent EQ to fine-tune the brightness and clarity.
