    Hi. I'm a bit embarrassed while I'm writing this since I cannot figure out what kind of instrument that sound is from. I don't believe it is completely from a synth. It sounds like the guy included some kind of sample from the M1 or something from that era (1994), am I right? An organ!?

    How would you recreate it? Not an exact replica of course, just with the same quality. Also I might be wrong since I'm very bad at recognizing this stuff but is the arp playing chords?

    I mean at the end it could be a sample cut from God knows where, but it doesn't sound like that to me.

    Cheers

    I'd say you're pretty much on point.

    There's a patch called "cathedral" on Roland's JV-1080 (and XV-5080) that sounds a lot like that in the right octave, might need to fiddle with the chorus and reverb and add some saturation plus the obvious gate thing going on, but i think it'll get you pretty close.

    Aside from that, take a look at Korg's Triton, it also has some organ patches that have that 90's sample based instrument thing.

    I can't believe I got it right, quite close
    After opening the thread I started messing around, what if I just put a bunch of organs together? So this is the result (two organs from Triton, plus one random synth).

    If you want to roll your own: Take electric organ, enable vibrato, play chord, render. Drop rendered chord into sampler.

    That's probably how most of those sounds were made, slapping a recorded sound into a sampler or arp. Thanks for your contribution

    Yeah, I didn't mean to be snarky :) I think the core element behind 'rave stabs' is taking a rendered chord, not just an individual sound, and resampling it.
