notes
'When I Needed You' from The Innocents (1988): a mono synth-bass line anchoring the low end, built in the style of ARP 2600 and Roland System 100 for bass/lead, Sequential Pro-One for mono leads, Yamaha CS-80 for pads, Emulator II sampler for hits and strings. The patch leans on 1 saw + 1 square -1 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter, shaped for the track's uptempo feel.
