So here's a quick and dirty tutorial for the Roland S-1 to create the opening pad sounds from 808 State's Pacific State/707 etc.
Bonus tip: sampling a chord and playing it across the keys would have the affect of 'baking in' 100% keyboard to filter cutoff tracking. If you want to replicate that too press Shift+Pad 7 (Filter Kybd) and turn this up to maximum
Apologies for my voice on this recording, I've suffering from a cold this week. It took me a while to edit out all of the sniffing noises I made during recording 🤧
