Kashif

From an article in, of all places, the Virginian Pilot:

The LP's biggest hit was the seminal title track. Arguably, the sound of '80s urban-pop began with "I'm in Love." Kashif and Morrie stripped away all remnants of disco: no strings, no horns, no 4/4 beat. The strutting beat was created on an Oberheim DMX drum machine,

Well, you can listen to anything he produced in the early 80s and know damn well he used, unmistakably, a MiniMoog Model D for every bass line... but since that's not how we do things here, here's a blurb from a career recap on the Cherry Records website:

In many ways, the most important thing that he did was to help pioneer the use of synthesizer technology in the world of funk alongside Stevie Wonder and also Ronnie McNeir. He got a big break with B.T. Express, one of the biggest funk-disco bands of the era. With them he enjoyed hits like ‘Do It (Till You’re Satisfied)’ (which reached # 2 in the US charts in 1974) and ‘Express’ (top # 4 the following year). While aboard the Express, he also got to play synthesizer bass, through using a Mini Moog.

Kashif is listed as one of the original champions of the (hardware) Synclavier in the manual for the Arturia Synclavier V... an atypical source, sure... but one that will be available till the end of time in one way or another.
