Re: Needing other delay recommendations (was Re: DL4 question)



I'm pretty sure that my tc electronics fireworx has a preset that has "pitch shiftable" taps.   As far a smooth "knobby" shifting without going "vintage", that my friend, has been my grail.

Subject: Needing other delay recommendations (was Re: DL4 question)

I was a little dissappointed by the lack of smooth delay time/pitch changes when I got my DL-4. I think they should have made some of the patches shift smoothly and left others for sonic mayhem. Basically I would have liked it if they just made the delay time control operate the same as it does on the pedals being modeled. It's sort of redundant for me though as I have another analog delay, and an RDS 8000 that do it quite nicely. About the Electrix Mo-FX, can midi signals be used to make it cycle through a sequence of various delay times, creating a melodic stepping effect as the sampled sound jumps up and down to various speeds? I've always wanted to get my hands on a device that could do this. Anyone one here use the Adrenalinn? Can it do this? Does anyone have a favorite unit for multi-tap delays with individual pitch shift for each tap? See, I figure if I can hook up enough delay boxes in the right combination and with the right type of automation, I won! 't have to play guitar at all -except one note. Then I can just mess with pitch shift and delay time parameters in various ways and keep resampling and redelaying the sound. Then once I get a nice long loop going I can just sit on stage and stare the audience down, or make origami, or do shadow puppetry. Seriously though, multi taps with individual pitch shifting and panning, the ability to create melodies with delay time adjustment via the knob and also via midi messages from a sequencer for delay time "stepping," what can do all this?

One of the only delays I've used lately that behaves this way (and
synchs to a MIDI clock) is the Electrix Mo-FX You can get really
interesting delay effects by screwing with the knobs (all accessable via
MIDI) or changing the MIDI clock, which is an automatic feature of the
Repeater.

(the Repeater part is sarcasm)
