Re: Re: Boss PS-6 as a tool for looped bass.



This is why I love this list...........someone will have the skinny on just about anything.
So, I stand corrected about the EH Micro POG.
It sure sounds synthetic compared to the Chili Dog (which actually takes distortion beautifully
so it has it's advantages).

Why are there so many cool pedals and so little money?

Just today on this list,  I told myself I wish I could own
a BOSS PS-6,  an EH Holy Grail,  an EH Octave Multiplexer
and a BOSS OC-3

Add to that my brother's delicious WET pedal with two expression pedals
and a second EH Freeze (adding my signals output on top of my first EH Freeze
to get an even cooler 'frozen' sound.

So many pedals,  so little money.

It does use harmonizer type algorithms.

A harmonizer breaks the sound up into little chunks
and plays each chunk back at a shifted rate.

Large chunk sizes sound more natural, but create
more latency...and unevenness on percussive sounds.

The EH harmonisers use a small chunk size, and
match it to the pitch of the input.
By doing this they get very low latency on downward shifts.
...but it gives a digi-edge to the sound, and perhaps
it's not that far off so call it re-synthesis.


The EH harmonizers claim to work with polyphonic input,
but only cope with the simplest harmonies.
