notes
An octave-down copy of the arp pattern from the same sequencer run, low-passed hard so it reads as bass rather than melody, sitting directly under the higher line to give the pulse its weight. The two parts are really one sequenced idea split across register, which is why the patch is nearly identical minus filter and octave. Reconstructed by ear from Moroder and Robby Wedel's documented Musicland setup.
