This deep house organ stab is built from an A minor chord consisting of A2, A3, C4, and E4 notes, with each note layered using five harmonic ratios including sub-octave, fundamental, octave, octave plus fifth, and second octave. Two detuned sine wave voices per harmonic create stereo width by panning left and right, while a 2-pole low-pass filter at 1200 Hz and gentle tanh saturation add warmth and analog character. The stab features a percussive envelope with a near-instant attack, fast exponential decay, low sustain, and release, lasting 1.2 seconds in total.
This sound fits well in deep and classic house productions around moderate tempos where organ stabs add rhythmic and harmonic interest. It can be layered with drums and bass for fuller mix presence but watch for frequency masking in the low mids due to its rich harmonic content. Adding subtle reverb or delay can enhance stereo depth without losing the stab’s punchy articulation.
