I'm working on a tune at the moment and decided to add a reggae keyboard feel in the background but the plug ins I'm using don't seem to have that authentic feel! Arghhhhhhhh
I may have to render the riff I've got at the moment and play the loop through an amp and record it back into the track........but that's hassle
any help?

Try any keyboard plugin that has a leslie organ or blues style organs.
NI B4
Lizard Lounge
both spring to mind

yeah b4 should do the trick. just remember to add loads of reverb and delay. see if you can get a spring reverb - or more realistically an emulator. spring tank in reaktor does a pretty good job, and altiverb has some really nice spring impulses too.

Anyone know of a way of doing this in Reason4? I cannot get the right delay on sounds.
I think I remember someone posting the step settings for the delay unit, like 380?! cannot work it out.

oioi people in the end I used a piano synth vst and effected the sound with an eq, filter, reverb, loads of different delays throughout............but most of all I put a guitar rig effect over it all which made it sound more natural! If that's any help to anyone else.
Cheers for all the replies! Gwan.

Rhodes, Hammond/Lesley type sounds on piano/keys chords/stabs, heavily eq'd guitar comps, some tape saturation, wow & flutter, tape delay, erm...
Have a look through some of these also if the link hasn't already been posted:
