was wondering if someone could help me out. i hear a lot of similar sounding chords used in grime and sometimes dubstep tunes, but tbh my knowledge of theory and chords is close to nil. so what type of synth chords get used often in grime?

an example

song is "tempered" by rustie. the chords that drop a bit into the song are similiar to what im talking about.

any help is appreciated!

peeece

Don't hear any chords in there man.

what im talking about are those bassline chords that drop around 27 seconds. i guess it could be single notes but it sounded like chords to me

suppose it's like a chord, the 808ie bass drum is kinda making a chord with the bass line.

had a listen, to me it sounds like a sine wave, modded to taste. no chords man, just one note.

Dont hear many chords in there mate

[EDIT] Oh for the love of CHRIST!!!! Sorry sorry, I didnt read the whole thread (AGAIN) before posting. Ill get my coat.

whatever for? repetition is key

Word. Bring back summer!

PS. They are single notes, what makes them grimey is the square wave esque quality (not to say it IS a square wave) and the portmento

nah fuck summer man too hot for me... least where im from. all about the inbetweens i think. spring and autumn. both are equally beautiful. everything coming alive and everything dying.
