The search function wasn't really giving me any help so I thought I would ask, I want to know how to make those distant reggae chords as heard in kode9-Sine Ive been tampering with piano sounds and various effects but cant seem to nail it.

shabba!

oh i know what a chord is and how to do the reggae skank im talking about the effects at work here cus they sound so good obv delay and reverb, but anything else?

put it on like a 1/3 delay and high feedback... then your rolling

Plus

If it dont sound big enough, add more notes into your chord.

gald you have a sense of humor....

doppppeeeeee and that guy on the guitar is pretty awesome

try an electric piano like a fender rhodes, and layer up delays

honestly your post made me laugh out loud

for a good skank you need a spring reverb, good tapedelay and phaser and try to detune your piano/guitar a bit. ad some distortion or guitar amp for some more gritty sound

and try to experiment with the order of effects.

There is a formula for proper skank sounds, but I'm not telling. Keep pushing, keep experimenting. Develop your way of making a skank sound.

hi,

yeah, its just a guitarchord through a spaceecho (tapedelay+springverb)

Exactly,

the chord is played muted (by applying little pressure gently to the strings and hit 'em hard) . Then the sound travels through a delay and then the reverb...

Micha, this plugin sounds very good... Is it a cpu hog?

Is that a new version or an old version of dubstation? Mine don't look like that.

I tried it out, well worth the money... probably the best emulation I've tried...
