Hey guys
I wonder what some of you use to create that chopping effect that is a trademark amongst alot of psytrance music. I've tried some midi gating in fruity loops, but I can't get the effect that I want to. I've also tried the chopper VST that comes with Cubase, but this also didn't quite do it. Sometimes I slice up wav files in the fruityloops slicer, but this can feel rather restricted at times because it doesn't slice the sounds correct, I get alot of pop and clip sounds 
Does anyone of you have some tips on this, or a VST recomandation of any kind?

try a gate on the synth itself, ie albino/vanguard etc... they have nice gates...
also try a tremellow...it gives the effect without actually chopping anything...
good luck |

You can also do it manually, bouncing the file, chopping the audio into slices in cubase and then mutting some parts, if you use the scissors and hit the control at the same time you cut your audio file in slices of equal size of the one you just cut, and then with a tiny attack and decay in each part the clips are gone.
This is how i always do it  |

MATRIX @ Reason is the best "Chopper" ever, but it only works inside Reason. So many possibilities and is also a "pattern" machine. That means you can store complete banks of different gates that also control FX at the same time, and toy with those presets live...
I work in Logic nowadays, but still dream with Matrix. |

Apart from that, many synths have teir own "gate".
Like Vanguards "trancegate", Nordlead's gate and Albino Modulation Matrix (where you use the Arpeggiator as a gate, inserting those velocity values provided by Phobium)  |

In Cubase, the Sine tool, and the square tool, or even the triangle tool is very usefull for this

You can also try the MIDI-gate in cubase, which is a little bit awkward, but does the job most of the times. Try it with midi-information from REX-files, this can sound really groovy

U could go one step further and send an audio or midi channel to an fx channel with invert phase and midi gate effects, so that u could subtractively remove the sounds u dont want.(I mean fine tune the effect)
It does work I tried it once.
this way u can automate the amount of effect with the volume slider on the fx channel. |
