Underworld's intro to their huge hit Born Slippy is one of the best known intros, with an iconic stab and pad sound. Dance floors the world over go crazy when they hear that identifiable sound and chord sequence. In this video I show you first how to sound design these sounds, using my Novation Summit, and then again on the Montage. However, you can use my explanation to recreate the sound on most any synthesizer. I then show you how to play the chords.
