notes: a monosynth bassline on this Notorious (1986) track, built on Fairlight CMI Series IIx alongside the Jupiter-8, per the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards-produced Notorious sessions. The LP 24 dB/oct filter and 1 saw + 1 square -1 oscillator stack sit inside the band's dance-pop/funk sound for this era, shaped and modulated to suit the part's role in the arrangement.
