notes
the synth bass line on "Close to You" (an uptempo Avex dance-pop cut from Rainbow), credited to Ayumi Hamasaki. Built from Roland JP-8080 and Access Virus A trance leads with Korg Triton pads and strings, the sound of Avex's trance-pop peak (Ferry Corsten's Rotterdam productions ran the same JP-8080/Virus rig for 'Connected'). The patch leans on filter movement over the phrase rather than a static tone, matching the arrangement's build.
