Re: Audio example clip (Re: Simeon's CopyPan script for Mobius)



"Bloom effect"? Is that referring to the generative music application
Bloom by Brian Eno and Peter Chivers? This time it is more difficult
than usual to understand what your saying ;-))

Anyway, everything except that first one bar loop (that got copied and
phase shifted by the script) was played live. Two effect processing
patches in work, on on each fretboard side's output. Must be one of
them.

1) On the bass fretboard output the Echoboy (soundtoys.com) tape deley
sim plugin set to a reverb sound is manipulated with an expression
pedal to bring up the feedback to max. Gives an effect similar to
"freeze reverb" but slowly moving rather than "hard-frozen".

2) On the guitar fretboard a simple True-Tape (part of the
Logic/Mainstage multi plugin Pedalboard) tape delay simulator plugin
is used. This delay's loop length is changing with the same expression
pedal used to catch and hold soundscapes from the bass side. The
True-Tape then makes some "inertia/flutter/varispeed noise" when the
delay length is changed.

...or maybe you are thinking about the OhmBoyz delay plugin on an
effect bus fed from the Mobius output channel that plays back the
original loop recorded? A bouncing dub feel delay coming out through a
LFO automized cut-off filter.
