notes
"Believe" on Believe You Me builds around a synth lead line, warm and rounded in character. Cut with the Believe You Me rig (Fairlight CMI, DX7, Jupiter-8, Pro-One, Emulator), the patch leans on a chorused, slightly detuned stack for width. The filter stays mostly static under the arrangement, and a short slap delay sits the part in the mix.
