Recording Notes

• The lead synth sound was created using a Casio SK-1 keyboard, known for its lo-fi sound and quirky features.
• The SK-1's built-in sounds and sampling capabilities were likely used to create the unique character of the lead.
• The direct signal from the SK-1 was likely used without any external amplification or miking.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Casio SK-1 or a similar vintage sampler keyboard.
• Experiment with the built-in sounds and sampling features to create a similar lead tone.
• Use a clean preamp or DI box to capture the direct signal from the keyboard.
• Add a touch of EQ to brighten the sound and enhance the attack.
• Consider using a light chorus or modulation effect to add some subtle movement and character.
