Signal Chain

Instrument: Roland Juno-106

Recording Notes

  • The synth sound was created using a Roland Juno-106, known for its warm analog tones and chorus effect. This synth was the primary source for the lead sound. The raw synth sound was carefully sculpted using EQ and compression during mixing to sit well in the track.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a Roland Juno-106 or a similar analog polysynth. Initialize a patch with a sawtooth wave.
  • Add a subtle chorus effect to create a lush, wide sound.
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to shape the tone to be bright but not harsh.
  • Fine-tune the ADSR envelope settings for a quick attack and moderate decay to get the right pluck.
  • Use a touch of reverb to add depth and space to the sound.
