Azar Strato - Fox Day | Keys Synth Patch Remake

Remaking the keys synth from the 2022 song "Fox Day" by Azar Strato can be an exciting challenge for any synthesizer enthusiast. Here’s how you can create the "Fox Day" keys patch and play this iconic sound on most hardware or software subtractive synthesizers (Serum, Vital, Pigments, Prophet, Korg, Moog, etc). We've included the preset download directly for your convenience, but we strongly recommend you use our programming tutorial to recreate it yourself.

Original Audio

Azar Strato’s “Fox Day” opens with a Rhodes-like two-note chord pad that establishes its harmonic foundation, characterized by its warm, rounded timbre and subtle vibrational movement. This sound likely originates from a Rhodes electric piano or a high-quality sample, given its organic, analog character and dynamic responsiveness. To recreate this with a synthesizer, combine pulse and sine waveforms, route them through a heavily rounded low-pass filter to soften the edges, and very subtle unison voices for depth and motion. The pad remains prominent throughout the track, particularly noticeable in the opening measures where it anchors the arrangement.

Synth Patch Programming Recipe

Getting Started

• Start by initializing your synthesizer to a plain saw with no filter, modulation or effects. For soft synths use the "init"/"default" preset or the the button to reset all parameters to their default factory values.
• No two synths are exactly alike, so treat the values below as approximate, and use your ear.
• Percentage values (e.g. 50%) represent the relative position of a knob or slider within its full range. The full range of each parameter may differ from synth to synth, so use your ear.

Note: the patch settings may slightly differ in the Syntorial challenge.
