notes
The Synthanorma sequencer locks a repeating eighth-note square-wave pulse to the drum machine, giving the track its cold, motorik low end. No filter movement, no drift; the precision is the point. Reconstructed from Kraftwerk's well-documented Kling Klang sequencer method rather than a published patch sheet.
