notes
On 'Set Me Free' (Anti Up, What Is Life album), a slow-swelling pad bed sits under the arrangement, tuned to the Anti Up's UK-inflected bass house 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.
