Any monophonic with 3 osc or any polyphonic.
theres nothing sefisticated in the stab sound design.

in that track there are 2 layered sound. listening with 10$ speakers, same sound, but sometimes lower octave and sometimes higher and sometimes together.

Figure out it takes to make a dub stab in the computer. Buy the synthe and effects that do the same thing. This isn't that complicated... It's not like your gonna find a synth labeled the dub stab synth. Quit being a pussy and Asking on his forum and do it.

i know this.. i have been listening to alot of records from the 90's and obviously alot of the artists were using similar equipment and methods to create these chords.

Yup a synthesizer or machine that plays a chord... and a space echo or other delay.

My point is... it doesn't matter what it is... there isn't a definition for this like a 909 drum machine or 808. There are endless ways you could do this. you could even use a digital synth!

you could prototype your idea in the computer and then go buy the real gear. Do you have access to a keyboard/music shop? put together a package of stuff and experiment there with it.
