notes
Bright, resonant string pad with mild distortion; the verse vocal runs through a vocoder. On this engine: a 4-voice detuned saw stack through a fairly resonant LP24 around 2.8 kHz, slow attack, a subtle pitch drift, and post drive plus chorus for the bright, slightly gritty synthwave string tone.
