    Love everything about it except the two flower motif on the back, I think it either needs more, or nothing at all... at the moment it looks a little random and isolated... even a lone blossom petal I think would have more effect, if well placed.

     

    But seriously amazing work on the design.

    Just wanted to mention...I've listened to most of the tracks, and I like them a lot. I can definitely hear some Muse in there too.

     

    Needs vocals though, that'd be the icing on the cake ... or something like that!

     

    Cheers James, they've all got vocal parts and lyrics written for them, I'm just warming my voice up a bit more before I commit anything to recording, lest I end up in the original material version of the horrible covers thread ;):LOL:

    I like it.

     

    The mixing is a hell of a lot better than I could do - didn't someone on youtube offer to help with that? (I know who that is - seems he's busy at the moment though)

     

    Cheers dude, oh yes he did, it was ages back and I've not got around to hooking up with him.

    I'm plugging my friends band, one I help with by lugging their kit around, posting pornogenic photos of them and being a general groupie. :LOL:

     

    They are called Teal. Hopefully they'll be hitting Coaster festival this year on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia if anyone by some chance on an international forum attend :p

     

    Guessing most people are here cause you like Muse. They're quite inspired by them as well as The Mars Volta, Radiohead and a variety of video games :D

    They might release a demo CD one day.

     

    I think they have a lot of potential. I am so fussy with what I listen to, but I didn't skip any of that. The song structure is great, can definitely hear the radiohead influences and loved the trem guitar in New Towers.

     

    I don't currently have a band :(

     

    But I write and record music regardless - this is my latest work in progress

    and I've finished recordings of several others on my youtube channel:

    I've a lot more written and notated, but not yet recorded. Vocal melodies are written for everything but also not recorded as not really happy with my voice.

     

    Feedback welcome :)

    Just done a bit of research, the KP3 should be out next month and the only price I've seen so far is £315.

    The fact that you can hook it up to a PC to load samples seems cool, just because I want an excuse to be a pretentious twat and turn up to gigs with a laptop. And it cuts up samples :D

     

    Oooh I thought it was already out.... hmmm give me a year and it will be on me christmas list methinks! I've been writing a fair bit of stuff of late thats a bit sample oriented so that could be damned cool!

     

    three hundred and fifteen notes is a bit much though :eek:

    I'm not to sure about that, I don't have a Kaoss Pad unfortunately, one day though, when is the new one out?

     

    If the Vamp has a MIDI In and you've got a way of connecting the MIDI cable to your computer, then it's pretty simple, just connect then, then read the Vamp's manual to find out which channels and stuff does what. Like CC000 controls the bypass on a Whammy, CC011 controls the expression pedal.

     

    MIDI is more simple than it seems at first.

     

     

    New one's out. I have a KP2 and they really are a laugh, though the new ones look epic!!!!! :eek:

     

    Best thing about them is you can use ANY ;) appendage to control the touch screen.. if you follow my drift :p

    Matt uses the volume knob a lot during shows :)

    Uhuh he does...

    I've never seen him use the tone knob, but I'm pretty sure he also uses the piezo vol. as well on a few tracks... older performances of new born for example.

     

    As for MOTP.. I've posted before somewhere that it seems to be some midi controlled effect, I'm almost certain thats why he always uses the M1D1 for it. I found a very similar sound on my kaoss pad but the rhythm of the "chopping" sound is just not quite right. But the M1D1 is programmed to control other pedals than just the Kaoss so it could quite likely be that. Its certainly no switch/knob usage.

     

    Am also pretty sure the signal switches from being harmonised an octave down on the whammy on the single note bit (when the bass plays the clean riff) to an octave up on the heavier distorted chord progression bit.

    Nah, I was wrong, blatently a guitar effect. Simno managed to get something very similar sounding, can't remember how he did it.

     

    Its a kaoss pad pre-set its a "bpm" effect that basically uses a wierd kinda dancey tremelo effect with a bit of phase too... then put through the whammy first time I think +1 octave down and then shifted to +1 octave up plus the original signal... thing is I can't get the EXACT rhythm. I also saw some guy (sorry if someone else has posted this I only noticed this thread now) but on You tube someone is using a Digitech step-phase effect which sounds pretty much dead on at first in the recording, but gets worse (might just be the playing though :LOL: )

    i've been asked a few times, but i cannot, as it is a copyrighted design, if i made and sold a MOC i could be in a lot of trouble from mansons & muse :stunned:

     

    Pedro will come around with his gringo's and go all mexican on you're arse. :LOL:

    So t's like a giant harmonica? That you strum... and don't play with your mouth... and not like a harminica?

     

    Thats completely right. I actually hire my backstage crew to play fender squiers in the background. Just like my idol matt. (I'm not stupid, I know he doesn't have WIRES coming out of his guitars to the amps ;) )

    From the tightness of my pants whenever i read your posts, i don't think you'd EVER have trouble making someone hard ;)

     

    THank you, its good to know I still have it in me. So to speak. OOOH matron! ;)

     

    The thing is made out of a cereal packet some tinfoil and a few rubber bands, if thats what you mean about internal effects. If I make a screeching sound with my mouth and strum it sounds just like a fuzz factory!!!

    any luck trying to buy an M1D1 of hugh yet? I already have one in silver and one in red but i'm thinking about selling the red one cos it's just lying in the corner gathering dust :rolleyes:

     

    WEll my chrome one was only £245.00 he'd had it in the shop ages, but it seemed no-one wanted it! Crazy eh!? Nice I didn't know Hugh had made a red one the sneaky devil. I'll buy it off you for a tenner?!
