Signal Chain

Instrument: Roland Juno-106

Recording Notes

  • The synth sound was likely created using a Roland Juno-106, known for its warm analog sound and versatile filter.
  • The grit and aggression may have been achieved through overdriving the Juno-106's internal circuitry or by adding a distortion pedal in the signal chain.
  • The resonant filter was likely used to create the sweeping and dynamic sounds in the lead line.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on a Roland Juno-106.
  • Experiment with the filter cutoff and resonance to find the sweet spot for the lead line.
  • Add a touch of distortion or overdrive to give the sound some edge.
  • Use envelope generators to modulate the filter and create dynamic movement.
  • Consider using a chorus effect to widen the sound and add depth.
