  • Chorus or ensemble effects are used to create a wide and swirling texture.
  • The sound is likely layered with other synth pads to add depth and complexity.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Roland Juno-106 or a similar analog polysynth.
  • Use a sawtooth waveform and detune the oscillators slightly.

  • Experiment with layering multiple synth pads with slightly different settings to create a richer texture.
  • Adjust the attack and release times to create a smooth, evolving sound.
