It’s really hard to say what it is, and like a lot of great records, it’s probably not a preset. Whatever it is, it sounds like it’s going through a low pass filter of some kind. There may be something similar to a gentle touch wah on it too. I’d probably start by filtering down a rhodes, a basic organ or a jazz guitar voice and see how that turns out. It may also be a bass voice in a higher register, because it has a kind of fretless quality about it, too. There’s almost a flutey woodwind like quality too, but again, filtered off. It sounds like it’s played in thirds or another complimentary interval. Add delay and verb to taste. |
