notes
Lead line for "Play It Off" (the Suit album, 2004), built on documented: The Neptunes' 2002-2004 rig on Nelly's records, built around the Korg Triton that drove "Hot in Herre" and its siblings, layered with a Minimoog-style sub for the low end and MPC2000 sequencing. Cutoff sits around 1925 Hz with 14 cents of detune across 3 voices, shaped to sit under Nelly's vocal in the 2004 hip hop / pop crossover (Neptunes production) mix without crowding the drum program. Producer credited: The Neptunes.
