E-mu SP-1200

Production & Groove

"Mannie Fresh has stated that he used the SP 1200 during the recording process and that HA was produced exclusively with that machine. He used various keyboards as well and has cited his intention to implement orchestra music as part of Back That Thang Up.

Cash Money was known for not using samples in their productions, instead relying on the musical capabilities of in-house producer Mannie Fresh. Despite this, Fresh used creative ways of sampling that some may not have considered. For example, he took from his own library by sampling Solja Rags on a song with a similar structure; HA. He also used various sounds within drum pads

Although he avoided using looped samples (with some exceptions), Fresh admits he was inspired by lots of music and genres when crafting his own music. You can hear the Latin influence in Follow Me Now, the Bach influence on Back That AZZ Up and the Mantronix influence on UPT."
