Geez, if I'd known.... There are lots of MP3 files I've made and they're on the net for download. You can first of all check out: http://www.waste.org/~crash/asb.html -and- http://www.waste.org/~crash/loopage.html -and- http://webriffs.dhs.org/ -and- http://www.waste.org/~crash/crash.html The ASB site has, naturally, ASB music on it. Many of the sounds in the track "aliensporebomb" are vortexed to death.. There's 6 stereo pairs of electric guitars playing in harmony and all are processed thru the vortex. Then, the drum machine has drums and bass playing, but is also the source of the "synthesizer" in the background. The synth pad is created by taking the other two bass guitar samples in the drum computer and tuning them up one and two octaves respectively and mapping key notes to the drum pads. Then I "play" the pads for each rhythmic pattern. I then take a line out from the drum machine and into the vortex running a custom patch I created. The tap tempo was used to further give the illusion that you're hearing a big keyboard synth thru a swirling leslie like patch. The drum machine allows you to send specific signals through any of its six outputs (stereo left, stereo right, then 1 2 3 and 4). This allows processing of specific signals while leaving others unprocessed. A very nice feature. So essentially, you're hearing 1 guitar and 1 drum machine. But due to the multiple outputs of the drum computer you can do a heck of a lot, and the Vortex has much mutational power. Let's see, the stuff at webriffs....lots of that is vortexed to death too... Late nite has a clean guitar thru a choir patch with the tuned-up bass samples from the drum computer into the vortex using another custom patch. There is no bass guitar or synth on this tune, just one guitar and one drum machine, the drum machine is playing internal samples to create the bass and "synth" parts (which are tuned up basses). The higher pitched "synth" stuff is a fingerpicked bass up two octaves, the lower pitched (sounds a bit like rubato electric piano thru chorus and delay) is an acco contrabass sample up an octave or so. "Dance of Life Part 2", guitar and Kawai K4 synth processed thru the vortex there. The lead guitar is conventional until the fake B3 (processed thru orbits) drops out and then you've got a guitar thru a mesa boogie studio preamp thru a mxr blue box thru a boss oc-2 octave box into the vortex (on that dynaflanger patch, aerosol I think) direct to the board. The drum programming is actually the drum machine into the vortex using a tap tempo delay to create some complex counter rhythms.. I could go on...am I crazy enough for you yet? The looppage stuff at my site...the flanging on "unravelling" (short version) is vortex I believe, just 1 guitar and nothing else... Oh....and the Vortex can rock too. Check out my crash page to hear "The Velocity of Naught", crunching chunks of heavy metal madness... the song that could not be killed. Nothing special in terms of weird panning but it sounds allright. -t
