notes
approximated from West's Graduation-era stated influences (Daft Punk, Steely Dan, Michael Jackson): bright Prophet-5/Moog-style stacks with unison and filter-env punch. On 'Everything I Am', this shows up as a spare electric-piano synth pad under the Prince/Tony Williams sample, reflective. Patch built from the album's documented/era-typical gear rather than a leaked session file, so treat cutoff and envelope numbers as representative of the era, not a measured capture.
