notes
On "I Have the Touch", Larry Fast programmed the Fairlight CMI for sampled and synthesised textures throughout, alongside a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and Roland synths, on top of Jerry Marotta's gated drums. Here it carries a short brassy synth stab that punctuates the arrangement on the strong beats. 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.
