notes
Moroder-produced DX7 factory preset '16 BASS 2', a glassy FM bass built from a bright bell-like modulator collapsing into a sustained tone. FM can't be modeled directly here, so a square/sine pair through a filter that snaps bright then settles gives the closest subtractive read; mono, light chorus for the glassy sheen.
