I've heard it in quite a lot of chiptune songs but im unsure on how i can re-produce it.

If you can assist me (i compose using cubase with vst plugins, so using them would be even better) It would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advanced smile

Sounds like a really fast arpeggio.  I don't know anything about cubase, but it should basically be a monosynth arpeggiating a chord very quickly.

cubase is just another DAW with vst plugin capability.

Thanks for the help smile

The trouble is, i cant seem to get the arpeggio fast enough, its going faster then 128ths to the point where the vst plugin cant produce all of the beats sad

the problem is i believe this is a sound generated by trackers that is referred to as "chords" but its a cheap version of chords that are basically superfast arpeggios so You'll have a hard time replicating it if I'm correct.

Probably want to try double-time or something.

umm you shouldnt have to do anything faster than 32nd or 64ths depending on the tempo to get that sound

there's two sounds. a minor third trill (the fast 32nds) and a quick V-I in the background. it's e minor.

are you saying the third trill is in "a minor" or are you saying that its a "minor third trill"?

i mean arps are the kind of thing you learn before you even get enough experience to get to level 1 stuff

Ive composed other genre's before, just not chiptune. I just wanted to figure out whether it was an arp or if it was oscillated.

There are VSTi with built in arpeggio function. They can usually be set to fractions of ticks.
