KVR Audio

I hear a sample in some songs and I'd really like to recreate it or download it somewhere, but I don't have a clue where to start (when making myself) and what type of sound it is (when searching for it).
I have captured some parts of mp3's where the sound is in:
Ticksound

I'm interested in that *thicka-thicka-thicka* sound you have there. If I get the basic sound I can use arpeggio and wah to get the same effect I guess, but I don't know how to get that basic *thicka*.
Does anyone know where I could find it or some tips on how to make it?

Sounds sorta like an arpegiated synth with a very short release...phased a little perhaps.

or a helicoptor sampled

but it could probably be done with a gapper effect or an lfo that ramps the vol up and down over a very short period of time ...

sounds phased too yup or maybe just some cutoff filtering up and down

The original sound could be anything from a sampled sound of someone hitting something or a kick drum sped up or a synth.

What gives it it's sound is the panning LFO, LP filter LFO, and maybe a bit o' flanging.

It's a simple white noise, amplitudo modulated with a square LFO, then filtered with a lowpass filter and panned with something like autopan. It also has a lot of echo and reverb on it, but the main sound is the amplitudo modulated and filtered noise.

Thanks for all the replies, I'm going to try your tips!

You could try a tuned down snare or other drum,layer it up some,vary the start time of one or more layers,be creative with the envelope then add a tiny amount of chorus,now employ a subtle lfo controlled filter sweep with a low resonance setting add some panning and your there.

Hi all, I would like to tell you I recreated it

Thanks for your help.
I've uploaded the complete sample so you can listen to it here.
I created it as follows:
- White noise
- Amplitude LFO (waveform is one I drawed myself: one top of sine for a very short period and for the rest silence). This is repeated 4x per beat.
- Low Cut below 50Hz
- Mid boost
- Wah effect

Well, you could try dimming the lights and complimenting your hand...

How to make this sample?
