Recording Notes

• The synth sound is layered to create a thick, harmonically rich texture.
• Chorus and reverb are used to add depth and spaciousness to the sound.
• The Roland Juno-106 is known for its warm, analog sound and easy programmability.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth waveform and a pulse waveform on a Roland Juno-106.
• Detune the oscillators slightly to create a chorus effect, or use a Roland Dimension D.
• Add a touch of reverb using a Lexicon 224 or similar reverb unit.
• Experiment with different filter settings to shape the tone.
