notes
MPC2000XL sample layering; sparse added synth, warm and soulful in period. On 'All Falls Down', this shows up as a thin string-synth pad bed under the bridge, barely audible beneath the chipmunked vocal sample. Patch built from the album's documented/era-typical gear rather than a leaked session file, so treat cutoff and envelope numbers as representative of the era, not a measured capture.
