Ableton Forum

Greetings,

In a nut shell I need to find out how to make chords/stabs like these:

I have a low budget but I already have Sylenth.

If anybody could help that would awesome!

Many Thanks

You mean the sound or the notes?

The chords sound almost entirely Minor 7th to my ears...Maybe in a few different inversions.

Sorry i didn't specify,

I need the sound design, I've got the theory down thank you anyway

Can’t help with the sound specifically, but there are a ton of specific now sounds tutorials on YouTube. Here’s what a quick search got me.

Ive tried youtube and google and reddit and no ones doing tutorials on the sound i want

After listening to the sound it doesn’t particularly sound like old school disco or deep house so that may be the problem trying to track down how it’s made. Hopefully somebody on here can help you dial it in.

No worries - my theory is better than my sound design sadly, so I can't be much more help than that

I had a brief listen. It sounds to me like the type of sound made by old Roland synths like the Jupiter.

You can do similar sounds in basically any synth, but as you have Sylenth use that. To me it sounds like a good starting point would be one or two sawtooth oscillators and a closed low pass filter. Playing with the the filter envelope and amp envelope would get you in that direction. I'm sure others can give you a much more detailed description.

Hey

Yeah..pretty much what Stromkraft suggested. Sounds like in the examples you linked they have got a bit of fine pitch modulation on one or both Oscillators....will help get that nice wonky off kilter sound. Should be able to do it in Ableton...def make use of the new filter modes with a tiny bit of drive should get pretty close!

Nice tunes by the way
