notes
A 2 saw -1 synth bass carries the low end, low-pass filtered at 12 dB/oct, cutoff around 1431 Hz with modest resonance, sitting mono and tight against the drum machine to anchor the track. Fits the bright, sample-heavy Junk Culture period where the Fairlight and PPG Wave replaced the Mellotron.
