notes
The origin of acid house: a TB-303 saw line with the resonance pushed near self-oscillation, its diode-ladder filter envelope sweeping up to 4-5 kHz on accented steps and slamming shut. On this engine: a single saw, mono with slide, LP24 resonance near max, and a fast, deep filter envelope keyed by accent; a little post drive covers the 303's inherent grit.
