Recording Notes

• The synth sound is likely a digitally modeled sound, possibly from a virtual analog synthesizer.
• The distortion is likely achieved through internal synth effects or post-processing.
• A bright EQ curve probably enhances the higher frequencies to give it presence in the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth or square wave on a virtual analog synth.
• Add a touch of distortion or overdrive to give it some edge.
• Use a high-pass filter to clean up the low end and prevent muddiness.
• Apply a bright EQ boost in the high frequencies to enhance clarity.
• Experiment with chorus or phaser effects to add width and movement.
