Recording Notes

• The VCS3 was likely used to create the core synth sound, employing its oscillators, filters, and modulation capabilities to shape the pad.
• The Binson Echorec 2 was used to add delay and create a sense of spaciousness and movement.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or triangle wave on a synthesizer.
• Use a resonant low-pass filter to shape the tone and add movement.
• Apply a generous amount of delay, aiming for a long delay time with moderate feedback.
• Experiment with chorus or phaser to add further modulation and depth.
• Consider adding a touch of reverb to enhance the spaciousness of the sound.
