Warm and enveloping synth pad with a slightly detuned, chorused character. It provides a harmonic foundation and subtle movement.

Production Credits

Producer: Kevin 'She'kspere' Briggs

Engineer: Carlton Lynn

Signal Chain

Instrument: Roland Juno-106

Recording Notes

  • The Roland Juno-106 is known for its lush, warm sound and chorus effect, which contributes to the spaciousness of the pad.
  • Layering multiple takes of the Juno-106, with slight variations in the settings, would create a richer and more complex texture.

Recreation Tips

  • Engage the chorus effect (usually chorus 1 or 2).
  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on the Juno-106.
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve a warm, mellow tone.
  • Slightly detune the oscillators for a subtle chorusing effect.
  • Experiment with ADSR envelope settings to control the attack, decay, sustain, and release of the sound. A slow attack and release will create a smooth, pad-like quality.
  • If you don't have a Juno-106, try emulating its sound with a software synthesizer that offers similar features (chorus, detuning, flexible filter).
