notes
The signature riff is a hand-played 16th-note pattern rather than an LFO-driven arpeggiator, voiced on a CS-80 with a fast, plucky filter envelope so each note snaps rather than sustains. A subtle drive stage and short slap delay thicken the pattern without smearing its rhythmic drive, which is the whole engine of the track.
