Recording Notes

• Kevin Parker is known to experiment with layering multiple synth parts to create a dense and evolving soundscape.
• The Roland Dimension D chorus is used subtly to add width and dimension.
• The MXR Phase 90 adds a swirling, psychedelic texture to the sound.
• The sound is likely run through a console for EQ and compression, but specific models are unknown.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a basic sawtooth or square wave on a Roland Juno-106 or similar analog polysynth.
• Add a subtle chorus effect using a Roland Dimension D or a similar plugin to create a lush, wide stereo image.
• Introduce a slow phaser effect with an MXR Phase 90 to add movement and depth.
• Experiment with subtle detuning and pitch modulation to create a slightly unstable and dreamy feel.
• EQ the sound to taste, focusing on a warm, full low-end and a smooth high-end.
• Add a touch of compression to glue the sound together and enhance its sustain.
