effects

notes
A softer, more orchestral pad than Numan's usual attack, built to float behind viola and piano rather than lead. The slow attack and generous reverb, not filter movement, are what give it its floating character. Exact patch reconstructed by ear from the record's texture, not a documented setting for this specific track.
