    fix(take_5_drops): the choir was muffled by a 1 kHz Moog filter, not by the mix · 516e3f30
    PLN, mid-run: "i hear no d7? or its muffed like '# att 0.2' or sth?" — then,
    after experimenting: "tried adding 'arp up' before the chord, its now a set of 4
    muffed short notes LOL. but d7 still muffed".
    
    Read the SynthDef instead of guessing the synth (CLAUDE.md: never infer a
    sound's role from its name, validate). SCLOrkSynths/SynthDefs/bass/moogBass.scd:
    
        arg ... cutoff = 1000, gain = 2.0, att, dec, sus, rel, chorus = 0.7;
        filter = MoogFF.ar(in: osc, freq: cutoff * (1.0 + (0.5*filterenv)), gain: gain)
    
    A 4-pole Moog lowpass parked at 1 kHz, on a SynthDef whose own metadata reads
    `category: \bass, tags: [\pitched, \bass]`. Every harmonic above 1 kHz is gone at
    24 dB/oct. A "CHOEUR GENERATIF" voiced on a bass synth cannot be anything but
    mud, and no amount of gain, room or crush was ever going to fix it. `# cutoff
    3500` opens it — 2500 warm pad, 3500 choir, 6000 buzzy.
    
    TWO TRAPS in this SynthDef, now written into the file where the next reader
    will hit them:
      * it DECLARES att/dec/sus/rel and then ignores them — the envelope is a
        hardcoded Env.adsr(0.001, 0.3, 0.9, 0.2, amp). That is why PLN's `# sus 2`
        did nothing and he commented it out. Shape this voice with legato.
      * `gain` in this SynthDef is the MoogFF filter RESONANCE, not a level.
    
    Three more real defects in the same orbit, all found by tooling, all fixed:
      * legato 2 -> 1.2. His new arp makes quarter-length notes; 2x overlap smeared
        them into each other. That is the "4 muffed short notes".
      * d7 had NO cut group at all, so held voices piled up — on a synth that also
        carries its own 7-tap chorus. Now `cut 7`.
      * crushbus restored, on slot 71 rather than d4's 41. The shared-bus case that
        became PV011 twenty minutes ago.
    
    And PV004 caught one PLN had not mentioned: d11 (THE FLUTIST) and d12 (THE
    SLEEPWALKER) both sat on `cut 11`, truncating each other instead of layering.
    d12 now owns cut 12.
    
    Also in this commit: mafia_sans_serif's d7, whose diagnosis is written up in
    b8344ac1. take_5_drops now 0 errors / 0 warnings, silent-eval --seeded ok.
