notes
'La La La' from Chorus (1991): a sustained analogue-style pad filling out the harmony, 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 3 saw -8 detuned through a LP 12 dB/oct filter, shaped for the track's ballad feel.
