Practise makes perfect
You need to experiment with distortion as imo this is the most important part of a reese (besides the detuned saw waves). It took me about 4-5 attempts at creating one before I started getting it right (and even now I sometimes can't get the sound I want).
In short - i don't have any reese samples for you (hehe), but I really think you should just keep at it. If you're serious about creating bass-heavy music, reeses are a must (at least knowing the techniques used).

im not trying to make a reese, im trying to make something else out of it like stabs etc, so im looking for 1s with lots of mid/high etc different factors, stuff processed on outboard gear the stuff i cant do
cheers for the tips though my reeces could do with some work

Fair enough - but creating your own + sampling them yourself works just as well
I can't stand using samples unless it's a vocal stem I want to use or if I'm remixing. Just me, but I really like creating my own stuff

Totally understand man - it can be very frustrating. You learn more by just going at it though
PS - try dnb/dubstep sample packs from loop/sample sites like producerloops, loopmasters.etc. Their packs always have a few good reese samples

Not only distortion, but weird filters help like comb filters, oscillating on narrow bands. Also things like ring modulators can get some interesting Reece movement.

The best reeses in my opinion are made using hardware. Maybe I am just shit at making them but I hardly ever hear any decent ones in peoples tracks on this forum if I am honest.

I would suggest finding a decent 12" with a good reese to sample. Easiest and quickest way. Will give you time to just crack on and be creative and make music.

i think we need a reese thread. or, preferrably, a whole reese-wiki.

sampling reeses, best from hardware

take the time to up your production chops and skills to learn basic fx chains, modulation, and sound splitting and reassembly like the people you want to sample
reeses aren't exactly rocket science especially with the multitude of threads over on doa and the q&as from the tech step ones, to neuro, to hard
ffs when my comp was busted ages ago i programmed all these patches on my micron using all onboard fx and modulators and a good chunk including the stabs are reese based

deadly is right.
but if you really want samples, search for chewie's sample thread. he made a really nice reese on hardware, i'm jealous of it.

i wondered how long it would be till you showed up in this thread
basically i dont want to use the reese as a reese i just want to try something using it in a sampler, i could make my own but they wouldnt have the characteristics of the reeses im after
why is everyone so resentful about sharing some reeses, if anyone does fancy upping some ill sort you out with a load of one shots from various drum machines
