LANDLORD STABS NEW
By Christian Beat Hirt
By Christian Beat Hirt
Four decades of House and Techno—captured in one instrument. Featuring over 300 authentic chord hits and stabs, this Kontakt Synthesizer delivers the timeless sound of dance music's most iconic records.
LANDLORD STABS
We meticulously recreated countless legendary chord stabs and hits inspired by the golden age of House and Techno (1985-1995), a time when experimentation, innovation, and individuality shaped the sound of electronic music. Staying true to that spirit, we expanded the concept by creating an entirely new generation of stabs and chord hits using modern synthesis, sampling, and sound-design techniques.
The result is a fresh, inspiring Kontakt synthesizer that bridges the past and the present, combining the unmistakable character of classic dance music with the flexibility and sonic quality demanded by today's producers.

From Warehouse to Worldwide.
At its core lies a reinterpretation of one of electronic music’s most iconic sounds: the “Landlord stab,” first heard in 1989 on I Like It (Blow Out Dub). Recreating this legendary sound proved to be a challenge—every detail, from the transient attack to the harmonic balance, had to be rebuilt from the ground up. But in the process, something new emerged.

Classic Character. Modern Creativity.
What started as a single stab evolved into a wide-ranging collection of variations—spanning different tonalities, textures, and energy levels.

Core Engine
The 3-layer engine of this companion instrument offers extensive sound-shaping capabilities. A custom sound menu allows you to browse stabs across 12 subcategories for fast and intuitive selection.
Enhance your sound by adding an extra sub layer (sine, triangle, saw, or square) and/or a noise layer (white or pink) to increase power and energy.
Further refine your tone using two AHDSR envelope generators (for volume and filter), a multi-mode filter section, and a range of additional effects—giving you precise control over every detail.
