notes
On 'Ease My Mind' (with Abel Balder, Chemistry album), a detuned unison lead carries the top-line hook, tuned to the song-forward 2025 melodic house pivot Chris Lake worked in at the time. Oscillator stack, filter movement and envelope are hand-set per the patch fields for this specific role rather than templated. Confidence is inferred from the act's and era's documented gear, not a specific patch source.
