notes
On 'The Weekend' (Anti Up, What Is Life album), a mono, sub-reinforced synth bassline drives the groove, 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.
