Recording Notes
- The synth sound was likely created using a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, known for its polyphonic capabilities and distinctive sound.
- The Prophet-5's oscillators and filters were probably configured to create a bright, harmonically rich sound.
- Envelope settings would have been adjusted for a strong attack to emphasize the rhythmic aspect, and a slow release to create the pad-like sustain.
Recreation Tips
- Start with a sawtooth or pulse wave on a polyphonic synthesizer.
- Adjust the filter cutoff to a relatively high frequency to achieve a bright tone.
- Use a moderate resonance to add a slight metallic edge.
- Set the attack to be quick and the release to be slow.
- Experiment with chorus or phaser effects to enhance the spaciousness.
