notes
The low end is a 1 square -1, PWM synth bass carrying the song's root movement, filtered lp 24 db/oct around 860 Hz so it stays taut rather than boomy; a short, punchy amp envelope. Written for Nakamori's 1982 album Prologue; gear and style approximated from the album's documented production (arranger/producer credits: Mitsuo Hagita / Kei Wakakusa; period gear: Roland Jupiter-8, Yamaha CS-80 and a Roland System-100M modular, sequenced from a Roland MC-4 Microcomposer). Japanese title: 型メランコリー.
