Recording Notes

• The Yamaha CS-80 was likely the primary synthesizer used for the pad sound due to its lush and expressive capabilities.
• The Roland Dimension D could have been used to add width and subtle chorus to the pad sound.
• The Eventide H910 Harmonizer likely added a slight detuning effect or modulated delay to create movement and texture.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or square wave and blend them for a rich starting point.
• Use detuning or chorus effects to create movement and depth.
• Add subtle modulation to the filter cutoff or oscillator pitch for evolving texture.
• Experiment with long attack and release times to create sustained, atmospheric pads.
• Consider using a stereo imager or widening effect to enhance the spatial presence.
