notes
A repeating quarter-note pulse gives the track its rolling, wheels-on-track momentum, deliberately unadorned so it reads as rhythm rather than melody. The pattern never varies across the whole piece, which is the point. Reconstructed by ear against Kraftwerk's known Synthanorma-sequenced 1977 setup; no confirmed original patch.
