All three synths are from TAL U-NO-LX. There are two tracks playing the chords, the main one is bright and relatively dry and the second one is darker and has lots of reverb. In the verses, the first synth drops out so you can only hear the reverbed track.

Most of the synth parts were created in Xfer Serum with most of the effects also done in Serum. Only the bass part in the first and last sections is from Arturia Mini V. This is a pretty sparse mix without Claire's vocals!
I started putting together this remake in 2020 with the rest of my Grimes article, but I couldn't get the bass synth in the bridge to sound right so I didn't finish it. The bridge bass still isn't 100% right, but it's about as close as I can get it without getting the stems.

These presets sound as close to the original sounds as I could manage, especially working entirely within one synthesizer. Keep in mind that a lot of studio magic like EQ and layering went into the original sounds, so there will always be some differences between these presets and the originals.

Frank Ocean - "Nights" remake. I didn't recreate the first section with the multi-layered guitars so this remake starts from the 1:40 mark in the original song, when the synths first come in.

The guitar is double-tracked with different parts panned left and right.

Frank Ocean - "Thinkin Bout You" remake. Plugins used are: - Arturia Prophet V for the layered pad and organ sounds. The original song uses the Xpand!2 preset "Scanner Pad". I chose to recreate the preset using two layers of Prophet V as it allows for more flexibility in editing the sound as Xpand!2 is sampled-based. - Xpand!2 for the strings and bridge acoustic guitar sounds. As mentioned above, Xpand!2 was used for the synth pad, so it's possible other patches were used for the strings and guitars.
