notes
a sustained pad/string layer under the arrangement on "(Don't) Leave Me Alone" (a guitar-driven J-rock/dance-pop track with a synth layer under the band from Guilty), credited to Tetsuya Yukumi. Built from Yamaha Motif ES/XS workstations, Nord Lead 2/3 leads and Access Virus TI, Avex's rock-leaning mid-2000s rig. The patch leans on filter movement over the phrase rather than a static tone, matching the arrangement's build.
