notes
Mic Michaeli's JX-8P/TX816 stack; the FM layer adds bite to the analog brass. On this engine the FM half is faked with an extra detuned saw/square voice: two saws plus a square through a resonant LP24 around 2 kHz, delayed vibrato on pitch, JX-8P-style chorus and a large hall reverb for the anthemic sustain.
