Hardcore/Rave Synth Stabs

ones like this, recognize them more from rave stuff but couldn’t think of an example bar this, the really massive dark sounding ones

how to achieve that sort of sound?

not averse to a good sample if anyone knows a pack but nice to try and make it myself too

This is a pretty good tutorial on how to make them from samples;

There was a thread on OldSF for it as a well IIRC;

This tutorial goes through how to make more M1 style piano chord stabs;

And this thread from DoA goes into a bit more detail on how you then transform them;

Basically it’s a piano chord, resample it, run it through a pitchshifter (maybe detune a little), then add chorus/reverb/delay/whatever you’re going for.

there’s some nice rave sounds in the feeltune soundbank if you use Synth1
