RE: Space Station - string pads -- a little corney

[Todd Madson <crash@waste.org>]

Re: generic string pads: oh yeah, you definetely gotta process them
further after the main box.  That's why the string pad I created for
the Leicon Vortex is dynamically sensitive and then is processed 
further after it - it sounds completely different than most of the
string pad sounds I've used (check out "The Alien Murk" from the
Sounds from the Noisy Room Vortex Patch Exchange).

Guitarist whose last name begins with F and ends with P?  You've got
me there.....Robert....FOPP!!!!  Dripp?  Dropp?  Dryiee?  Oh
nevermind.

Hey, you should have heard the patch I came up with for a Digitech
GSP5 + ART SGE + Boss OC-2.  It literally sounded like the rings of
saturn falling apart.  The drummer I was working with at the time 
looked at me like I was out of my mind.  Boy, it didn't sound like
a guitar at all.
