notes
'La La La' from Chorus (1991): the melodic synth lead doubling or answering the vocal hook, built in the style of Emulator/Akai sampler layers over Roland and Korg analogue-modelled synths, Vince Clarke's ARP 2600 and Pro-One still in the rack for bass and lead duties. The patch leans on 2 saw -6 through a LP 24 dB/oct filter, shaped for the track's uptempo feel.
