Recording Notes

• The Yamaha DX7 was likely used as the primary synth source due to its prevalence in 80s synthpop and its ability to create bright, digital tones.
• The Line 6 DL4 is used for looping and adding rhythmic delays, contributing to the song's chaotic, layered soundscape.
• The Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail adds a sense of space and ambience, enhancing the overall textural complexity.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a bright, FM-based synth sound, similar to those found in the Yamaha DX7.
• Experiment with layering multiple synth voices to create a richer, more complex texture.
• Use the Line 6 DL4 for looping and rhythmic delays to add movement and chaos to the sound.
• Apply liberal amounts of reverb using the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail to create a sense of space and ambience.
• Consider using additional effects such as chorus, flanger, and distortion to further enhance the sound's lo-fi character.
