Recording Notes

  • The synth sound was likely created using a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, a polyphonic analog synthesizer known for its rich and warm sound.
  • The pulsing effect might have been achieved by modulating the filter cutoff frequency with an LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) or by using the synth's built-in arpeggiator or sequencer.
  • Subtle chorus or phasing effects may have been added in post-production to enhance the synth's stereo width and add a sense of movement.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on your synth.
  • Use a resonant low-pass filter and modulate the cutoff frequency with a slow LFO for the pulsing effect.
  • Experiment with chorus, phaser, or flanger effects to add depth and movement.
  • Adjust the attack and release times of the amplifier envelope to shape the synth's sustain and release characteristics.
  • Consider layering multiple synth voices to create a fuller and richer sound.
