Whatever you think of JT or even Timbaland, you gotta admit that that rising synth is just vicious in My Love. Even as a guy who listens to tons and tons of synth-based electro, I was just amazed the first time I heard this song because it's so right. Most electronic and hip hop producers can't reign a synth in so well.
Just wondering if anyone knows what was actually used on it... Sounds a bit like a CS-80 could be tweaked to get there, but I guess a ton of other synths could be used to get there too. And before people start telling me to get my own style, I'm not trying to recreate it at all. I just like knowing little tidbits of info like that.
