notes
The low-end synth-bass part driving the groove on "Bitter Is Better" (Select, 1982). 1982 Wilde-family production: Roland Jupiter-8 driving bass and arp lines, Linn LM-1, a brighter more disco-inflected mix than the debut. Built from 1 saw -1 + 1 square -1 (sub-doubled), shaped by a LP 24 dB/oct filter (short punchy pluck on the attack, settles to a rounder sustain), finished with plate reverb (short-medium), light BBD-style chorus, no delay unless doubled by production.
