notes
Classic OB-Xa pulse-width texture: detuned saws layered with a pulse-width-modulated oscillator, the slow PW sweep giving the pad its living, breathing character. On this engine: two saws plus a pulse oscillator with a triangle LFO sweeping pulse width slowly, LP24 kept fairly open, chorus and hall reverb for the classic Rush synth-pad wash.
