Hello guys ,
Im searching for opportunity to sequence house chord stab sounds.
I like the sound of JP 08 roland boutique but there no chance of sequence chord, only single notes.
I understand that most of people make chords on synths and then sample them.
If i had JP 08 and Octatrack for example, then everything is clear , make chrod stab, sample it to OT and sequence it. But i dont have such amount of money right now
Here is the example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlD_kJs8SmQ
chord is sequenced and played in real time with Filters
Hope you like the vibe and please share you thoughts about this little issue
Thanks to you guys in advance

The Arturia Keystep features a polyphonic sequencer, so you could use that to control an external hardware.
It has also a one-finger chords feature, which is nice if you want to play such stabs from the Keystep. I don't know if the two features can be combined (I don't think so), I never tried the sequencer features of the Keystep.
Or you could use something like an old MPC (I have a MPC500: it's cheap, but it's probably worth looking for a MPC1000... I rarely use the MPC though, probably because of the limitations of the 500), which can work as a midi sequencer and also sample sounds.
If I want to work with stabs, I play chords with a midi keyboard (often it's the keystep in chord mode) and record the midi sequence in Cubase, so I sequence the synths directly (as if they were played), without sampling chords... If I sample chords, it's for the flavour introduced by this process, so I load a chord (or a single note, then I layer and detune to intervals) in a soft sampler (usually the TAL-Sampler).
Does it have to be hardware? And what hardware do you already own?

A lot of times it's just a 2 or 3 oscillator detuned mono synth that's being sequenced.
OSC 2 I usually like on +5 or +7 semi tones.
If your synth has a third oscillator you can obviously experiment with a full chord

I own JP 08 , Acidlab Miami(TR-808 clone) and x0xb0x (TB-303 Clone).
All this hardwares go through Boss BX8 mixer with some return track effects on it.
So i use Ableton Live only for recording.
Arturia Keystep makes easy way i guess, thanks.
What about Volca keys ? i was watching some tutorials and is sequences chord progressions, so it wont be a problem chord step sequence right ?

Very usefull info for making classic chord stab in no time !
