notes
a sustained pad/string layer under the arrangement on "Liar" (a mid/slow ballad from My Story), credited to Raita Ikemoto. Built from early Yamaha Motif and Motif ES romplers alongside Korg Triton Extreme and Access Virus B, as Avex's in-house arrangers moved off pure trance gear into a warmer J-pop rompler sound. The patch leans on filter movement over the phrase rather than a static tone, matching the arrangement's build.
