  1. really? ew grainable synths, why is it so hard to get a modern analogue synth?

     

    Because of analogue's shortcomings, doesn't really fit in with what the overall market wants from a synth. To be honest, I can't blame them.

     

    Have you ever heard an analogue synth?

  2. lol, matt has indeed two whammies, but believe me :) not as spare, otherwise, why should he place it in his rack?

     

    Where else is it going to go?

     

     

    Maybe you should look into some of the interviews on Matt's setup from Absolution, it's there incase the other fucks up, so the change over can happen instantly, rather than the gig having to stop so they can swap it over. So it has to be there.

  3. to be honest, seeing as the guys are using the digidesign VENUE system, they probably have no difficulty whatsoever creating this effect live doing exactly what haze has done!. i mean they have access to live protools essentially.

     

    Yep, plus everyone seems to forget that matt and chris' setups are controlled by midi, afterall, matt doesn't have his whammys onstage, just sat in a rack where midi controls everything it does and has done so since '03.

     

    I don't have access to pro tools either, i'm just using a cheap hardware midi sequencer, would love to control it from a computer, would have more access to automation.......

  4. If anyone is willing to host a mp3 file for me, PM your email address, it may be of interest to this thread. ;)

     

    don't bother now.

    erm, used a broken squier strat, into the whammy on -/+1 octave harmony (controlled using a MIDI sequencer) into an MG30, recorded using the line out on the amp into cubase :)

     

    not the correct rhythm i know, but you get the idea. enjoy!

     

     

    by the way cheers to yellowshpere.

  5. That wasn't my point. I was just saying that most people/n00bs? only want this effect to do this paticular song or just show off as Raurie just suggested. That was me tbh but now I don't give a shit. I know you can do more with a sequencer and that your able to use them with more than just a whammy pedal but some people just want a sequencer and whammy to get that paticular effect and then they probably wont have a clue what else to achieve with the sequencer (this is why I don't care anymore, lol). Where as some people like maybe yourself and Raurie want to experiment with the effect.

     

    You mean there another reason to use lots of weird effects other than to show off? :eek:

     

    What I don't like is when people give out misleading information, in this case saying that a step flanger, phase or filter will get the sound, when it is clearly pitchshifting, purely on the basis it sounds 'similar', which is a bit like telling someone to get an overdrive when they want to get the early Nirvana Big Muff sound, yes, what they do is similar, but they don't sound the same.

    I don't think it's got anything to do with me wanting to experiment with that effect (even though I do, check the new song in the link in my sig :happy: ), it's more to do with wanting people to know how to get the sound, rather than the cheapest way that sounds 'similar'.

  6. But for those of you who have no access to neither a whammy or a sequencer, it does seem a little bit of an expensive buy just to do the intro to a song. This is why I would rather settle with a simple pedal, such as the Digitech Flanger or just fuck it and keep to the whammy. I don't like the idea of attaching another pedal to my board just to do one song in my position tbh.

     

    Yeah, you can only use a sequencer and a whammy for one song :rolleyes:

    And yeah, you can only use a sequencer when it's hooked up to a whammy :rolleyes:

     

    Plus the effect in MOTP isn't that important to the song, you can live without it if you wanted to cover it, as the guitar is pretty much in the background throughout the whole song, even the little lead line at the start is played by Chris live.

  7. Same here, maybe not a full length album, but we'll be recording over the christmas period.

     

    Will be a mix of electronica and rock. Until then though, feel free to enjoy us pissing about in a room with a mic in the corner :)

     

    Finally got a new song on our myspace page, http://www.myspace/the3rdstoreychemist the one at the bottom

     

    Still working on it and it's all rather rough (the bass part was made up two minutes before it was recorded, through an MG30), but it gives you a rough idea what we are up to.

     

    edit - Finally working now, enjoy :)

  8. Fuzz + filter does that.... The filter emphasises different harmonics in the fuzz tone, which are already massively emphasised by the fuzz.

     

    Can't argue with that, but it's not a filter in MOTP.

     

    What the hell do some people mean 'any' step effect will get you close enough? So the step delay effect I have will get the sound? :rolleyes:

    What about a step distortion? step ring mod? step compressor?

     

    You'd probably get closer just using a Digitech Whammy on the +/-1 harmony and using your foot to get the rhythm than using 'any' step effect.

  9. well thats how they made the guitar in stockholm syndrome dude

     

    edit- and it is an effecs proccessor also

     

    Actually, that's not what they did for Stockholm Syndrome.

     

    They used a piece of software to mix together the sound of a distorted guitar and a synth. Hysteria is a mixture of a synth and a distorted bass.

     

    I do get sick of repeating that constantly, especially when Rich Costey and Muse have said it themselves in interviews.

  10. If you listen to the live versions you can hear the sound glitching just like the whammy does when you play chords through it...pointless information really given that you've already decided what the effect is! :LOL:

     

    I'm amazed when people here want, say a whammy, and can't tell when one is being used, same goes for the Fuzz Factory.

     

    ;):)

  11. Si has a Kaoss Pad and has tried this, no matter what he did, he couldn't get anything dead on and I think he was still using +1oct harmony on a Whammy.

     

    So in conclusion, it's not a Kaoss Pad :)

     

    The thing is, we don't really know what is in Matt's rack anymore, there's been no good pics of it. Plus, Jonny Greenwood runs his guitar through a laptop for certain effects, yet you don't see one on stage...and Matt's Whammies are in his rack and you can't see what is hooked up to them.

  12. Also, whilst I'm here, my main band (Studio Tokyo!) is going to be recording a full length album over the next few months, watch this space.

     

    Same here, maybe not a full length album, but we'll be recording over the christmas period.

     

    Will be a mix of electronica and rock. Until then though, feel free to enjoy us pissing about in a room with a mic in the corner :)
