Recording Notes

  • The pad sound was likely created using a Roland Juno-106 synthesizer, known for its lush and warm sound.
  • A chorus effect, possibly from a Boss CE-1, was used to add depth and widen the stereo image.
  • Reverb, likely from a Lexicon 224, was added to create a sense of space and atmosphere.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or pulse wave on a Roland Juno-106 or similar analog polysynth.
  • Add a subtle chorus effect to thicken the sound and create a wider stereo image.
  • Apply a generous amount of reverb to create a dreamy and atmospheric feel.
  • Experiment with filter cutoff and resonance settings to shape the tone.
