Roland TR-808, pad

Rockstar · Post Malone / Single (2017)

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: 3 saw, unison 3, detune 19 cents
filter: LP 12 dB/oct
cutoff: 2675 Hz
resonance: 0.14
envelope: A 600 ms D 400 ms S 0.7 R 1500 ms; slow swell that opens under the sustained chord, no snap
effects: long plate reverb, chorus
notes: A dark, moody pad hangs over the rolling 808 bass, giving the track its brooding, rockstar-fantasy atmosphere. Reconstructed by ear from the finished mix. Instrument choice is approximated from the Metro Boomin/Southside/Zaytoven/DJ Spinz/TM88/Wheezy Atlanta trap production camp active across this record's scene: FL Studio built around a Roland TR-808-style sub bass with Sylenth1/Nexus-style bell and pluck leads for melodic hooks, not a documented per-song patch sheet.
