notes
Pad part for "Hero" on Wunder gescheh'n (1989). No isolated stem or interview documents the exact patch, so this is hand-tuned to the album's known rig: Yamaha DX7 II, Roland D-50, E-mu Emulator III over Alesis HR-16, produced by Nena Kerner and Rolf Brendel. Voiced and filtered to sit as a pad in a ballad-paced arrangement typical of the 1989 solo-debut sessions, made on the late-80s digital synths that succeeded the band's DX7/Emulator rig.
