The main synth is a filtered supersaw patch that can be created on modern synths with unison/detune, such as Xfer Serum. The sound is also distinctly digital, reminiscent of 90s digital synthesizers and effects units. The sound is a layered one, with at least two layers building on each other to create a rich wall of sound. The crystalline synth pad on Sideways, which starts during the outro of Slide on Me, is one of the highlights of Frank Ocean’s video album Endless. The article was also recently turned into one of ’s fantastic ‘Synth Sounds of’ videos with William Kurk. This is a follow-up to my guest article The Synth Sounds of Frank Ocean, where I mainly covered sounds from Blonde. All the sounds from these tracks have been recreated using the Arturia softsynths Prophet V and Mini V as well as Xfer Serum, and all the patches are available as a free download at the end of the article. In this article, I’m focusing on Frank’s latest single, In My Room, as well as going back to the synth sounds in Skyline To from Blonde, and Sideways from the video album Endless. Both tracks are synth-heavy, and see Frank hinting at a bigger club-influence for his upcoming album. Frank Ocean has recently returned with new music, dropping singles DHL and In My Room, his first new music since 2017.
