Recording Notes
- The pads were created using an EMS Synthi AKS synthesizer, a modular analog synthesizer known for its unique sound and patching capabilities.
- The specific patch used for the pads likely involved multiple oscillators, filters, and LFOs to create the evolving and detuned character.
- Further processing may have been applied during mixing to enhance the spaciousness and depth of the pads.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a subtractive synthesizer and create a patch with multiple oscillators slightly detuned from each other.
- Use a low-pass filter with a slow LFO to create movement and evolution in the sound.
- Add chorus and reverb to enhance the spaciousness and depth of the pads.
- Experiment with different filter settings and LFO shapes to create unique and evolving textures.
