Bill RNovember 25, 2009 at 12:06 pm in reply to: Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.10 “The Electric Piano Effect” #104207bill ruppertParticipantGood luck with the compressor!
The Mod delay is a chorused delay.
The Memory Man has a very interesting changing rate for speed.
Other that that the stop and start frequency controls of the MicroSynth are tricky to set correctly and need to be toyed with according to your playing dynamics.
If the sound is to over all to bright, lower both controls. If the attack is to bright lower just the start ect.
Thats where the compressor may make things easier by taming the dynamics of the guitar.
Thanks again and good luck.
BillQuote:Thanks Bill.
I have a new XO series pedal, not the old large box version.I already thought to add a compressor before the Micro-Synth, but I had a very bad luck and the Analogman comp that I was waiting went lost in a catastrophic shipment from a TGP danish forumite
Anyway a comp will probably my next pedal, to avoid some well knowm dead notes and sustain problems of our beloved Micro-Synth..
About the swirl: I didn’t get the Delay modulation, i’ll try to add some with my MiniDejaVibe, but I suppose that the main difference is the strong and compressed signal of the Soul Preacher that loads better the Synth…Thanks again for all your help and creativity!

Well to start I feel the compressor in front of the MicroSynth is a must.
It keeps the attacks consistent and more keyboard like.
It also drives the MicroSynth at a consistent level.
The settings I listed are for the XO series MicroSynth.
The “Big Box’ Micro Synth settings will be different as the sliders in the filter section do not match up to each other.
The two units can sound the same its just where the sliders are set will be different.
Let me know what unit you have.As for swirl, I used the Pulsar in stereo for the “No Quarter” sound.
That added a big Doppler effect.
I also used the Stereo Memory Man in the Mod+300mS mode and that adds a beautiful chorus swirl to the sound in stereo.Bill Ruppert
Quote:Hey Bill first of all THANK you for such inspiring videos!In particular in this case, I always tried to get a convincing Rhodes fx… but in my rig I get a very different sound.
I have a Micro-synth, (Moogerfooger) ring mod, delay and reverb etc.. so basicaly I can reproduce your rig and sound chain (except for the compressor).
I find your Micro-Synth setting “light”, and the sound doesn’t “swirl” at all…
The MS is a very strange beast, some slight variation can produce very strong variation… any suggestion?bill ruppertParticipantThanks everybody!
Bill Ruppertbill ruppertParticipantIs it coming from youtube?
BillNovember 16, 2009 at 4:26 pm in reply to: Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.10 “The Electric Piano Effect” #103808bill ruppertParticipantThe effect in this video was inspired by the keyboard sound in the 1972 Led Zeppelin song “No Quarter”.
The keyboard they used was a Fender Rhodes electric piano with through a Maestro phase sifter on the fast setting.
>Below are the EHX settings I found reminiscent of that great recording.
(The controls need to be fine tuned for each individuals instrument and playback equipment.)The second example in the video was the same as above but with the Pulsar pedal warble effect.
It has more of a traditional, slightly dirty suitcase style Fender Rhodes.The solo sound was the guitar through a Voice Box pedal in the whistle mode.
To plug a guitar into the mic jack of this pedal, I used XLR to 1/4 inch adapter plugs.
Below are the setting used for the Whistle sound.Good luck and have fun.
Bill Ruppertbill ruppertParticipantTube EQ in self oscillation with some sort of ribbon controller in the EXP jack for pitch.
You might have to make one, resistance is 10K
Poly Chorus or analog memory Man for vibrato.
With a ribbon you could do the vibrato with your fingers as well.Bill Ruppert
bill ruppertParticipantThanks guys!
Jack the clock bell effect was just the guitar into a Frequency Analyzer and a Stereo Memory Man on a long delay setting.
The Frequency Analyzer had the filter switch off.
Blend at 100%
Fine at 100%
Shift at about 2 o’clock +or-.
Find three notes on the guitar that work together and pick them slowly like a clock tower would sound.
The long delay adds the chaotic sound of many bells.
Good luck and have fun!
Bill Ruppertbill ruppertParticipantTubular Bells was used in the scary horror film The Exorcist.
bill ruppertParticipantQuote:Sounds awesome! I love the Effectology series.Would it possible to do a episode emulating a normal piano sound? I would love to be able to do some piano bits on my guitar…
You never know.
A acoustic piano would be very hard to do.
Billbill ruppertParticipantbill ruppertParticipantQuote:just watched, amazing. thankyou bill rupert. i think thats the name, cant rememberThanks and I am glad you finally got youtube access!
Bill Ruppertbill ruppertParticipantQuote:Inspirational stuff Bill.
In addition to ‘hilikus’, I would also like to know about possible applications for the photocell. For example, could I plug one into my Holy Stain to control pitch?‘hilikus’ almost all will feedback with the loop adapter.
Fun thing is to try them all and see what the different knobs do to the sound.
It gets LOUD so watch your volume or you could blow a speaker….Ted the Photocell will work with any EHX pedal that has a EXP jack.
The HOG works very cool with it.Have fun and experiment!
Thanks again,
Bill Ruppertbill ruppertParticipantThank you to everyone for the great comments!
