A 2 ms D 180 ms S 0 R 140 ms; bright, fast-opening hit that closes within 200ms, punctuating the chorus like a horn section; filter env amount 0.5

plate reverb, short slap delay reinforcing the hit, none
notes
The sampled orchestra hit is Bohlen's recurring signature, dropped on the downbeats to stand in for a horn section without hiring one. A saw layer widens the sample and the plate reverb plus slap delay give it the record's slightly cavernous 1986 sheen.
