The Story
The distinctive synth lead on Salt-N-Pepa's 'Push It' was created using a Roland Juno-106 analog synthesizer. The characteristic bright, metallic sound with its slightly detuned quality came from the Juno-106's sawtooth waveform processed through the synth's built-in chorus effect and filter section.
