notes
Wide detuned pad sustaining the harmony under Héroe, Kurzweil K2000 and Korg Wavestation pads providing slow-attack strings/choir character typical of Music Box. Filter and amp envelopes are both slow so the pad breathes with the vocal rather than punching through it. Spanish-language recording of Hero; same pad treatment re-tracked for the vocal.
