notes
A 2 saw -1 synth bass carries the low end, low-pass filtered at 24 dB/oct, cutoff around 648 Hz with modest resonance, sitting mono and tight against the drum machine to anchor the track. Fits the Sugar Tax/Liberator rebuild, McCluskey's solo-era rig of workstation synths, rack modules and an Akai sampler.
