What Do I Have to Do · Kylie Minogue / Single (1990)

Unverified Inferred from the knowledge base. Nobody has cited a source yet; one accepted source makes it POTENTIALLY, one grade A source or two grade B sources verify it

Settings

osc: PCM pizzicato-string sample layer + short saw pluck, unison 1, detune 4 cents, sub none
filter: LP 12 dB/oct, bright and static
cutoff: 6500 Hz
resonance: 0.1, drive 0.05
envelope: A 1 ms D 80 ms S 0 R 30 ms; no real movement, the plucked amp envelope does the work; filter env amount 0.1
effects: PWL live-room-style plate reverb, short stereo delay to widen the riff, none
notes: The song's four-note pizzicato hook, repeated relentlessly through verse and chorus, is a PCM 'pizzicato strings' patch of the kind SAW leaned on across their 1990-91 productions. It is deliberately dry and percussive on the attack with a short tail so it locks tightly to the 909-style groove underneath.
