stabs are just chords really… a synth stab is just a synth played as a chord thats not held just “stabbed”



kinda like a brass stab but synths

Thanks for the info Phill !!  i know you are sayin that stabs is just a  synth is just a chord . but  i heard Mc talking about Vocal stabs? can vocal snips can be  called Stabs? or can be a sample called  a stab? i am kind of confused on that term a litle. even do i googled it  :P.

Staccato - Wikipedia



i guess thats the closest actual definition.



could be any musical instrument really… but general it referes to a sample of some type of instrument playing a chord in a staccato style.
