Chris Christodoulou | Behind the Music: The ROR Lead Synth @AstronautDown | Uploaded September 2021 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
In which I go through the sound design of the infamous ROR lead synth sound.

All music written & produced by Chris Christodoulou™ unless stated otherwise.

--- WELCOME TO THE UNEXIST™ ---

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

1. Something I forgot to mention was the Envelopes for the Oscillators. You can see their shapes in the video, they are typical ADSR with an immediate Attack, Sustain set at maximum, and a very short Release for both.

2. At 32:23 (CHAPTER 3d) I typed Autotune instead of Autopan.

3. I misspelled "leisure" multiple times, so there's that.

Feel free to ask me stuff about this and I'll reply in the comments!
