I call that one Ethereal and it has given me a lot of trouble with
this piece. I keep feeling it isn't quite right, but no other voices I
have are as good. If anyone has any Zyn. patches they think might sound
better, please send them to me and I'll try them out!

Hard Synth is what I call this, and I actually deliberately wanted a
sort of gritty brash sound to the counter melody. With the later
horn-like sound, the music is being more accepting of itself.

Thank you. This means I succeeded :)

I was trying to get an effect where the musical 'perspective' changes
depending on which line you are most prominently listening to.

For this last comment you can nit-pick as much as you like!
