I am trying to put together a new pedalboard for synth sounds and the effectology series has been very educative.
So in theory I remplaced the oscillator with a comp+fuzz to make the signal of the guitar form either a square or a sine wave. I need to add an envelope filter, a lfo and a ASDR and maybe ring mod.
Is just that Im tired of keyboard players…
GerardMemberWhat is the setting on the Q buton.
I use the LPF at 70% cause I feelt It was too bright sounding even at flat setting (I got a Vox/Fender Kind of amp, all tube fender kind preamp and Vox AB power amp).
I found that pushing the attack filter at 40% I can get the bright bite to disapear. I use the volume pedal to swell the chords (more difficult because of the filter but Im getting better at IT)
GerardMemberSo no lucky man yet.
EHX ought to make the portamento on the V256 into a new individual pedal.GerardMemberYeah pal, I see what you did there. The pedal chain in the Orchestron is almost the same to the pedal chain of the ARP Solina sound you showed for St.Patrick day, but of course both the Orchestron and the Solina were developed to try to fit the Mellotron´shoes and both were used for symphonic textures (thoug my favourite would allways be the freeman)
acording to here: http://www.gepr.net/proginst.html the use of the Orchestron was featured in Yes´s Relayer with Patrick Moraz, though the monster Orchestron that he used looks nothing like the modest keyboard in the video.
I was thinking in buying the freeze but the super ego looks better for drones, with the effects loop and all that. What would you say is the main difference in sound other than the extra features? I feel the frozen sound in the Superego sounds more Synthetized, It could be my imagination, or the way you set the Big Muff, cause It doesnt soun like an overdriven freeze.
Also CAN YOU GET TRANSPOSITION/PORTAMENTO SOUNDS like the ones you got with the V256?
GerardMemberWhat I really mean was that Emerson doesnt take himself too serioudly, ge understand that music is something to be enjoyed and fun, evenwhen is complex and challenging. ELP knew how to fool around and play serious music, I once read that ELP mixed tock eith classical in order to please the “upper clases” but what they really did was assault classical and make It cool and fun for the kids.
ELP is still oitrageous in these days, pure rock n roll
GerardMemberI found It while looking at ELP references, I also found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catterick_(TV_series)
ELP was like KISS of progressive rock, pure rock stars all nonsense. I saw you video on how to turn the guitar in a moog, I would really wish EHX made a portamento pedal, the v256 is too expensive to use only one function. Or they could add It to the MycroSynth together with a Low Pass Filter and a Ring Modulator and Make a huge pedal like the Hog.
That would be like a pigtronix Mothership with Filter Sweep, in fact It could be more convenient If EHX made a Filter Sweep pedal so I could Add It to the Mothership. But for now all the keyboard sounds that I need are in my little Mellotron/POG2 (plus a chorus for the “rotary” sound)
GerardMemberThe effectology series is making me have a pedal collection bigger than Keith Emmerson´s Keyboard Collection
March 23, 2012 at 3:23 am in reply to: Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.21 “Turn you guitar into a string synth and tin whistle.” #117182GerardMemberI have everything on the list exept for the POG and the Freeze, I have a POG2 thou
Would the POG2 work like the Micro Pog? Can I turn off the filter on the POG2? (that seems to be the main difference)
Does anyone has tried the “String Synth” sound with the POG2? My main problem is that I am still new to the Low Pass Filter in the POG2 and I cant set It right.
December 10, 2010 at 4:13 am in reply to: Electro-Harmonix Effectology, Vol.10 “The Electric Piano Effect” #113000GerardMemberCan I just add some flanger for the mettalic effct instead of a Ring Modulator?
GerardMemberQuote:I’d get the HOG and Microsynth now- they’re the most versatile out of that group and you’ll be able to get the widest array of synth sounds out of them.Then get the Frequency Analyzer and Vocoder later, since they’ve got less tricks up their sleeves.
Good deals depend on if you go new/used. I got my HOG slightly used for 320.
The thing is the HOG is pretty big and I dont know if it fits my pedalboard, It also cost the doble than a Pog or a Mycrosynth. I was wondering if the POG would work like the HOG in all those synth Organ sounds.
I guess would be POG plus Microsynth or only the HOG. What do you think will be better???
