He likely used the DX strings patches, as they have long attack and release times as well as mellow, sine-like oscillator sounds.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; These were likely recorded on the Roland SH-101, a revered analog monophonic synth from 1982.&lt;p&gt;So is this all speculation of RDJ&amp;#x27;s production methods or was this directly sourced based on what RDJ himself said?</text></comment>
