Recording Notes

• The synth sound is created using FM synthesis, known for its bright and metallic tones.
• The patch likely involves detuning multiple oscillators and using a resonant filter to create the sweeping effect.
• Layering with other synths or processing could enhance the final sound.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Yamaha DX7 or an FM synthesis plugin.
• Create a patch with multiple operators and detune them slightly for a richer sound.
• Use a resonant filter and modulate it with an envelope or LFO to create the sweeping effect.
• Experiment with chorus and delay to add depth and widen the sound.
