notes
'Boy' from Cowboy (1997): a sequenced arpeggio running through the verses and choruses, 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 1 saw + 1 square -3 through a BP 12 dB/oct filter, shaped for the track's uptempo feel.
