The "black riot stab" is actually something called the "train lead", it's a sample of a train horn and it originally came from the disk set that came with the Emulator II.

What's really wonderful about this video is how much more information we have in 2020 (and beyond) about classic tracks and classic samples. I appreciate the effort put in by Luke, although off the mark there's some fun cross-sampling here. But the root of many of these, Stravinksy and Fairlight, etc, which in turn were recorded and resampled and digitised into soundbanks... that's the beautiful complexity of our electronic music culture. So again, while not accurate, it's a wonderful reference and creative reflection all the same. Thanks for putting this together, some great memories (and some PTSD from waiting what felt like HOURS back then for midi sysex sample transfer when the floppy disk failed!).

one of my favorite sounds of all time. The rave stab is one of the coolest noises that never goes out of style.

i was gonna complain but so many already pointed out this is not the origin it's thrice resampling

@3:51 and 3:56 two of the best sounds in house/techno/hardcore music imo :)

I found out the Inner city stab several years ago. Listening to it now in retrospect, it sounds so damn obvious it's unbelievable. And what a revelation it was. Great sound, always liked that sound :-)

that's good on modern technology but go back to the days of amiga and atari when you had to spend hours chopping ripping and sampling... look up octomed..and like others have said the sounds came from sound libraries some where free with some magazines and mostly programed into old skool synths like Roland w30 for example. good bit of kit there but doesn't explain fully the true roots of those sounds..

Totally wrong . The stab from quadrophonia comes from the emu sound bank . It's just an orchestral stab .

I asked Carl turner (bizarre inc) and he says that is legit for playing with knives. Can't vouch for the rest though. We were sampling the feck out of everything back then though.

It was still sick watching you make bangers with the stabs

Mentasm stab was off the Juno 1 ( a preset ! ) and energy flash bass line was from a bass filtered with the res and cut on a Casio FZ1 Sampler ...that's word from Mr Beltram himself !

Choir Stab is from "Anasthasia" by T99, "Revolution" stab is from "Brazil" by Spectrum (David Morley).

yes but which synths were used to create the sounds originally? sampling a record and then grabbing the audio is only showng that process. we can all do that. you need to rename the video as "ripping rave stabs and playing on a midi trigger" !

good work, top old skool sample geekery :) I have another one for you, the "Rhythm Section" stab... bear with me... the source is Silver Bullet - Undercover Anarchist (Push to the Limit mix) Silver Bullet- Undercover Anarchist (Push To The Limit Mix) the stab is a short section of around 18 seconds in on the video. Check out Shoot the Moon - Technophobia - Shoot The Moon - Technophobia (Tuff Mix) which not only samples the stab from the Silver Bullet tune but the break as well. Rhythm Section probably sampled Shoot the Moon for their 'Comin on Strong' tune and then it became a fairly well used rave stab...

Takes me back to the ooold school

Hey guys there's nothing in the description mentioning synths. This video's is obviously aimed at fans of Rave music. Fans of rave music would generally understand that alot of that type of music was constructed from reappropriation and sampling existing records rather than 'raw' synth programming, so as such, to people interested in the production techniques of guys that made rave tracks, the description is pretty spot on in my opinion. A rave producer at the time wouldn't have necessarily cared less which synths were originally recorded only which recording was sampled.

great Vid - wanna hear something crazy? the landlord stab was finally isolated in it's origins - what sounds like a piano is actually a DX7

i had to laugh when he first played it on the sampler... you HAD to smile

Thank you for this great video!!!! all those samples are legendary !!!! when I was young I always wonder how rave music was made.

Nostalgia on a massive level. Thanks. Great video👍🏾

Nice vid, good to see im not the only one whose doing Origins of Rave stab vids. The Black Riot stab is actually off It's Not Too late To Dub by Sequal. I've done a few vids showing you where rave samples have come from including the Urban Shakedown, Some Justice stab :)

STOP! I was trying to work this out last week and just stumbled on this video. Thanks!

now i m giving away the core of 15 years of electronic music sampling technology: "vengeance sample library"

00:47 reminds me of the ridge racer revolution ost on the ps1 ^^

Thank you Luke Neptune. I enjoyed this video!

Love the Choir Stab.

the rave hey days were the best, so simple sampling but very effective! better than shitty soft synths of today!

This is more than perfect 2 show all those music-lovers how this industry is working. More of this!!!

really cool stuff! but I am sometimes wondering where/how the original sounds came from. Old romplers perhaps sometimes... But I imagine some producers made their own hybrids from scratch - samples from old records and/or rompler stabs. Classic sounds!

Damn son where'd u find those drum loops

Dude, this is Rad. Glad I watched this as I learned something that I can apply. Thanks for sharing.

fuck, comment sections is a gold mine !!! so much precious information, so many folks with some knowledge, and a few famous ones...tnx guys

Really... the origins of rave stabs in Luke Neptune's sampler I guess.

Thanks Luke. These stabs work fine with the Yamaha psr ew-410, e463 too. Was definitely worth it!

In the song “The Knife Stab”, the Korg M1 internal programs patch “Piano8’” and MPC-00P programs patch “Piano8’” were heard.

A lot of misinformation in this video near the end , just making it up as he goes along

@16:00... that Mirage sample of the Matrix 1000 conjures an image of one of those advertisement blimps in Blade Runner sounding the fog horn

yah know I love your quick and dirty approach to it. You hit the raw source rather than search for a vst or sample pack of these different stabs

Holy shit you just took me back to high school with Good Life!

What type of files are you pulling your stabs from Luke Mp3-Wav- Flacs ?? I would like to know because when i put my stabs/loops through Push they don`t sound nearly as good as yours...great work by the way subbed

They're all great stabs sounds imo and have they're purpose.

Great video... loads of fun & ideas to be had with the old school

That stab at 2:04 about sounds like smd 1 b side and the stab for it’s just a feeling probably is (and of course we know it’s from playing with knives)

i don't care how the were maid...THAT WAS MY LIFE.. i mite be 50 but those tunes just Rocked, and then Sum.............. bet you wish you were just THERE...........

Nice work, brought back some very happy memories, great playing as well mate !!! :D

where did the choir stab come from?

i just bought an MPC1000 after watching this vid. only wish i could work out how to use it LOL

What were the original machines these stabs were made of? I used to dance to these thinking "how do they do this"?

The piano stab you used at 4:00 doesn't come from landlord. ; ) the making of the Anasthasia stab is impossible to guess unless you know the secret... ; ) thx for this vid

This is an amazing video. Thank you so much. I always wondered how they sounded sounded so good in Inner City Good Life. Thank you please make more videos like this

That sampler looks like a lot of fun. I can't tell what the logo in the corner says; who makes this one?

Greeeeeat vid. I come from that. I Could do so muchhhhh with my tx81z and my Juno106. Even the Gerald's "Sunshine" plonks..... (i ve put it quite recently on my Motif Underscorer fb page) Yes man now we Chicago again.

Not technically a stab but the sound fx from the beginning of this Jah Shaka record were robbed by nuff junglists; Jah Shaka - Verse 1

There is a "Rave VST" that has many of these stabs on it. Google it & you can find it, for P.C only tho.

2:35....that stab line is awesome did you make that up? also any rave tracks you know that's similar please :)

the clean inner city lead from brutal house is at the very end of brutal house track

Such a great and flowing video!! Love the MPC1000, but I'm married to an Octatrack...

It's crazy that this would just fill out warehouses and shit like that! Mad tings!

Hey guys FYI there is a VST called Rave Generator which has a few of these .

i thought this was a video to learn how these sounds were made. not how to grab them from the songs. your emulations of each sample was bad ass but not giving the original of the songs.

I knew he was going to play Quadrophonia

Playing with knives is in the wrong key

What is the name of this sampler?

whoever made all this music was inspired by that "Orchestra Hit" sample from the earliest of keyboard samplers I'm sure gosh its like orchestra hit stabs on stereo-steroids

all luv to to yo luke for creating that vid! nothin better for inspiration than some nice stabs haha :D i got one question for you tho: which break beat sample are you using and are you willing to share that one with us too? :)

the soundtrack of any good skate video

thanks for the info. those guys were so creative in the early days

Video falls on its arse half way through and stops showing where the samples came from..... A few aren't the original samples either.

The 'revolution stab' is a Korg preset that's on the EMX-1 and I believe came from one of their older keyboards. Possibly the M1?

Also wondered where the Piano sample from Main X - 88 To Piano came from?

does anyone know if some of this classic house where made by sampling chords directly from synth (JUNO, DX7 etc.) and then played with the pads of the MPC, like it is shown in the video? that would totally make sense to me though.

What drum machine is that?

The orchestra hit is still a classic

Great sounds....!

i'm still confused about what the stab is after the landlord stab? that stab is completely different? i've wanted to know for years and never had an answer.

Zero-G Datafile 1 & 2 has all the classic rave sounds and drum beats.

The real original hit sample came from of course the fairlight , david vorhaus won a contest in linz austria in 1980 , cmi p vogel was there and vorhaus got a fairlight mk1 where he sampled the Orch sample (i think it was from a stravinsky suite) on to donate for the user library , the rest is history..

you cut like a madman

Funny, I started watching this video specifically to try and figure out how they got the sound for Playing with Knives, and it's one of the featured tracks. Thanks!

"add compression, add delay" nro theres infinite possibilities kf the intention was to teach something you left it out on the open

04:28 that was used for streets of rage 2 on Sega mega drive stage 1 background music

I cannot for the life of me find that D Train stab in any of the versions of that track I can find - which one does it come from specifically?

What the machine called with the green lcd display and buttons that you hit? Thanks

At 3:55 the piano stab is actualy the « atomic plaboy » piano not the landlord

More videox like this please...

you can find a lot of these in a free vst called rave generator

What compressor settings would you usually use with these samples?

Song name 04:30?

What was the origin of the choir stab? The SR-JV80-06 "108: Ravin'Choir" preset?

id like to know where the choir stab came from

What machine did you use exactly?

Thanks for the memories!

madness!!!

Enjoyed this very much!

Love rave stabbs espeacilly the revolutionary stabb😆

you're just re-sampling the sample from those who've already sampled it, thats not the origin. the og orch hit actually came from a stravinski piece for example. It's rave and hiphop, everybody sampled each other so you're gonna find the same samples on many records. you're gonna have to do some real research if you want to find the actual origin. None of these are origins.

Respect for all the homework!

"..MORRRTALLLL KOMMMBBBBATTTtttt...."

are the sounds coming out of your hardware or is it sampled tunes you’re playing with ?
