there kinda like stabs ive been trying to find out what instrument makes the sounds and where to get them, heres an example its the constant di di di do do di di do do, also this sound @ 0:14, does anyone know where i can get these sounds via reason refill, or loopmasters thanks

They're called skanks and they can be anything from organs to guitars to pianos. Just look up 'reggae skanks' or go through some dub and reggae sample packs.

They're kinda similar sounding to those dub techno stabs which are basically 2 saw waves one octave apart (with some filter modulation, chords, effects, etc).

thanks man, yeah im going to check out some sample packs out

There's a good free VST called 4front Rhodes. Short attack, no delay, decent amount of reverb makes a nice skank.

i got reason 5/record 1.5

just use one of the organ presets in reason, organ stabs are my personal favorite. i believe theres a few in the both of the included samplers. but some short chords on every other quarter note or something like that depending on what youre doing. add some sort of chorus or phaser modulation for a leslie type sound if you want, and a little bit of reverb.

Organ/guitar stabs at on the 2nd/4th beat, reverbed/delayed make a good reggae style lead.

That Kromestar tune is a banger btw.
