notes
A wavetable sweep keys/electric-piano-style patch fills the mid-range, low-pass filtered at 12 dB/oct, cutoff around 1692 Hz with modest resonance, doubling the chord progression. Fits the glossier Stephen Hague-adjacent Crush/Pacific Age era of FM and wavetable synths over Simmons-style drums.
