notes
Roland TR-808 for all drums with Korg/Roland Juno-style analog pads under the Auto-Tuned vocal; cold, sparse, mono-leaning. On 'Pinocchio Story (Freestyle Live from Singapore)', this shows up as a sparse live-arranged synth pad drone under the freestyle closer, mirroring the album's 808-and-pad minimalism. Patch built from the album's documented/era-typical gear rather than a leaked session file, so treat cutoff and envelope numbers as representative of the era, not a measured capture.
