Hi guys,

Has anyone heard Emit Fenn's track Painting Greys? :


I'm using Reason 10 and am quite familiar with it but I've been stuck on trying to recreate the chorus melody that stutters (@ 1:00 minute in the video i posted) and repeats a triplet of the first note in a form of a stutter, which also I'm assuming is not snapped to grid because it sounds shuffled/swinged.

I've tried many techniques including:

- drawing the triplet repeat before the first note
- copy pasting the first note in an audio file
- using the note repeater and arpegiator
- using Roll mode in The Echo ffect
- using stutter edit effect by Izotope

I've been fiddling with all of these techniques for a while now but have had no success sounding like the reference track Painting Greys.

I would really appreciate any feedback and insights to how I can achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

It's just a quick arpeggio up on an E minor chord, not a stutter per se.
E, G, B, E, ascending.

At 133 BPM, it falls on 32nd notes though the underlying rhythm is 16th triplets at that part of the track, like so (bar one shown):

The low notes on the down beat are the low brass/bass, the middle chords are the synth chords that follow along with the melody, and the melody is the top most notes. Make sense?
