notes
On "Souvenir", documented rig: Mellotron and Vako Orchestron for choir/string textures, Korg Micro-Preset and Roland System 100M for bass and sequences, a Yamaha CS-30 for leads. Here it carries a electric-piano-style synth keys part filling the middle register. Reconstructed by ear from the record; no official patch sheet survives for this part, so the specific oscillator and filter values are an informed approximation anchored to the album's known gear.
