Heavy String production is a type of hip-hop beat making strategy featuring original composition, live strings or keys, live drums, live bass lines, and minimal use of samples. Heavy String production is recorded live using studio instruments such as the Akai MPC (Music Production Center for drums), the Roland Fantom-X, Yamaha Motif, or Korg Triton (studio keyboards and pianos for keys/strings), and the Korg MS-2000 or Minimoog (studio bass synthesizers for bass lines).
