Recording Notes

• The bassline is based on the bassline from "Under Pressure" by Queen and David Bowie.
• The Juno-106's built-in chorus effect likely contributed to the lushness of the sound.
• Sequencing was likely achieved using a MIDI sequencer, common in late 1980s studios.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a sawtooth wave on the Juno-106 or a similar analog synth.
• Use the filter to shape the tone, focusing on a deep, resonant sound.
• Apply a chorus effect to thicken the sound.
• Program a simple but driving bassline with a strong emphasis on the lower frequencies.
• Consider using a MIDI sequencer to replicate the original's timing and feel.
