Recording Notes

• The main synth sound was created using a combination of analog synthesizers, primarily the EMS VCS3 and ARP 2600.
• The sound was likely shaped using the synthesizers' onboard filters, oscillators, and modulation capabilities.
• Tape saturation and other subtle effects may have been added during mixing to enhance the warmth and character of the synth sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or pulse wave as your oscillator source.
• Slightly detune a second oscillator for a richer, chorus-like effect.
• Use a resonant low-pass filter and modulate its cutoff frequency with an LFO or envelope to create the signature sweeping sound.
• Add a touch of chorus or ensemble effect to further enhance the width and depth.
• Consider using a tape emulation plugin to add warmth and saturation.
