Recording Notes

• The original sound was likely created using a Roland Jupiter-8 synthesizer, known for its rich and versatile sound. The patch involves a sawtooth or square wave with a fast attack and decay envelope to create the characteristic percussive pluck. It may also incorporate some chorus or ensemble effect to add width and depth.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or square wave on a Roland Jupiter-8 or a similar analog-modeling synthesizer.
• Adjust the filter envelope to have a fast attack and moderate decay to create the pluck sound.
• Add a small amount of resonance to accentuate the filter sweep.
• Use a chorus or ensemble effect sparingly to widen the sound, but be careful not to overdo it.
• Experiment with slight detuning of the oscillators to add some character.
