I'm trying to find the sound used throughout this song. In reggae terms, it might be described as a bubble, the staccato hits that come in at .03 seconds and cut in and out throughout the song. The little groove thats alternating with the piano skanks, hitting the 1/8 notes. Often times its played with an organ, this one sounds more like a percussion pad, and may very well be that. I'm trying to manipulate a synth sound to sound like this but cant seem to get it quite right. Any body have any ideas? Any help is appreciated!
for true organ sine or triangle work best for bubble, plain, simple and ordinary
the "bubble" part you're talking in about in that Luciano tune is not a keyboard -- it's a drum synth. your real key to getting that sound will be getting the amplitude envelope right
bless, pablo
PS -- respek due to the Messenjah
PPS -- I strongly disagree with KB mag interviewee suggesting that a reggae bubble should "swing" -- should strictly follow tempo without any hint of swing
