Recording Notes

  • The synth pad was likely created using a Moog modular synthesizer, popular at the time, to create a warm, sustained sound.
  • The sound may have been layered with other keyboard instruments like an organ or piano to fill out the frequency spectrum.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Moog-style synthesizer VST or hardware synth.
  • Use a sawtooth or square wave as your initial waveform, detuned slightly for a chorus effect.
  • Apply a slow attack and long release to create a pad-like sustain.
  • Experiment with subtle chorus or phaser effects to enhance the stereo width and movement.
  • Layer the synth with a soft organ patch to add warmth and body.
