Re: Vedr. Re: Vedr. Re: reverb just on the delays

Title: Re: Vedr. Re: Vedr. Re: reverb just on the delays
When I first saw Jon Hassel on tour he was using an AMS-DMX digital delay with the pitch change cards in it and someone had rigged up a custom interface so that he could select preset intervals with a bank of footswitched arranged chromatically. The AMS otherwise sets the pitch as a ratio or percentage, not so intuative. I recall that the notes were drawn by hand on little scraps of paper and fastenend to the footswitches with clear tape.

He may be using a different device these days, but I've met a surprising number of musicians who prefer to stick with a particular set of tools, despite newer technologies becoming available.

Here is a nice article

and this, too

Any knowledge on how Hassell does this Live, and what gear he uses ?

"Open secret" starts with a very dry trumpet and  at 1:08 he brings up his two harmonizer channels . The left channel tuned a minor third down (-3 semitones) and the right a fifth below  (-7 semitones).
At the end of his phrases we can hear a simply a long reverb set about 20dB below the trumpet level which creates  that 'Hang" . There are no delays on this track.


Marifaa Street, open secret ? Or any tune on M.Street.

If you could site a particular cut, I can tell you how to get the
effect nearly exactly.

I suspect that you might be referring to "Malay" from Dream theory in
Malaya (1981)

The most useful method will require a small mixer. Patch the delay
and the reverb into the mixer. Send a signal to the reverb from an
aux which is pre-fader on the channel to which the delay is patched.
This way you can regulate the 'wetness' of the delay independant of
the delay level.
