Recording Notes

  • The synth sound is likely a combination of the Juno's internal arpeggiator and carefully chosen patch settings.
  • Effects like chorus or delay could be added in the mix to enhance the spaciousness and rhythmic pulse.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or pulse wave on the Juno-106.
  • Use the arpeggiator to create a repeating pattern, experimenting with different note divisions and gate times.
  • Add chorus to thicken the sound and create a shimmering effect.
  • A touch of delay can help the arpeggio sit in the mix and create a sense of movement.
  • Experiment with EQ to brighten the sound and make it cut through the mix.
