d/l the sample,
ok there's loads of delay innit but you can still hear that stuttering effect only on the choir!
I can get a "similar" effect in Logic's Tremolo - but it's just a straight LFO, not that dope RHYTHMIC stuff you can hear in this sample. (anyone slide the faders that fast on a mixer ;)
Is it just very fast and precise automation on the volume?
Any clue how they did it?

And the new file just above is (what i suppose) Infecteds sample, from Hans Zimmer.

end sentence:
Posford does it all the time and we were wondering about how he does it a dozen times now and always ended up with nothing... bastard probably uses the kyma like BT does (didnt listen to the sample btw, just guessing at what you're after)

1) a gate that has a sidechain input. You run an audio signal, like a simple saw wave, into the sidechain of the gate with the same rhythm as you want. Voila, gated sound.
2) draw envelopes into your sequencer. Not fun, but it can be done.
3) Use a synth that processes external audio. Technically, you're using the synth as a gate.
4) For symple, periodically recurring rhythms you might try analogX's Audio Arpeggiator.
I'd bet they're using #1.

just had an idea tho: AM modulated by a square lfo modulated by a random lfo... might work

Personally, I use the Virus for this kind of thing. You can even feed the output of one part into the input of another, so you can take your pad on channel 1 and feed it into channel 2's amp and filter. Perfect for gating effects.
Your idea of a square LFO modulated by a random LFO (if they were temp sync'd) might work, but it wouldn't be reproducable and probably wouldn't fit the rhtyhm of your track too well. It'd be luck, basically.

but i agree that analog gates probably would be required for hallucinogenic speed.

the really fast gating on the arp at the end sounds more like AM tied in with some fast filter cutoff mods, with immaculately programmed speed changes. But basically done with one synth likely.
