notes
On this R&B/pop/afrobeats track from 11:11 (2023), a synth lead carries the part: the oscillator stack and filter are set for the 2023 R&B-pop with afrobeats/dancehall inflection, log-drum-adjacent 808s, warm plucked leads sound of the album's production team, hand-tuned per the patch fields rather than templated. Confidence is inferred from the act's and era's documented gear, not a specific patch source.
