make lovely techno synth stabs i.e scuba, basic channel

[nowaysj]

Why does stab stuff sound good from predator?

re teh stabs...

They're just like rasta skank, very easy to make, but much harder to make yours. But please try.

Some good shit here

only thing is you are instantly limiting yourself tonally and you will notice that a lot of those tracks that use that minor stack chord basically sound the same.

it's a good thing to add to a tune sparsely in my opinion

good luck!

alternatively instead of limiting yourself you could make a major stack as well... just copy and paste the first instrument and change the notes that are played...

gotta say thanks fro thus, it was very useful- bumping for othewrs

ive got some very good results sampling electric piano chords out of my Proteus 2000 hardware synth and resampling.

^indeed, some of the best ones ive got are sampling (electirc) piano chords out of 80's electronic music

basically they are known as stacks.

you can either program them as minor chords (as the fella above said)

or you can create them using a synth with 3 oscillators

the basic principle is to have a root note (usually the the bottom note) set to 0 (no tuning)

2nd oscillator you could tune to Eb (+3)

3rd to +7

this would make a minor chord basically - then whatever you play would be a minor chord - for the sounds you mentioned you can try combinations of oscillators, maybe saws or chuck a square in - filter it down a bit with low pass - bit of resonance and boom.

Can anyone point me in a good direction for using chords in FL? I would like to give this a go. I seem to remember some chord settings in FL but not sure how to use them?

How do you set the bottom note to 0?

Bottom note = root note = 0 tuning = untouched pitch of that oscillator, if I'm not mistaken...


Good bump, just synthed myself some of these for later.
