THX.

..but I also hope it kinda explains how some of these patch ideas can sound like.

Yes, it does explain a lot. It makes me appreciate this music more than I would if I had not read your posts there.

That does not diminish the music, just my ability to appreciate.

Aditionally, any noisegate with either a sidechain or "key" input or the option of midi triggering it will do as a envelope. That "anything module" is nice but for many aplications any stray little mixer will do too. If you eccidentally run out of stray mixers then two jack sockets and a pot will happily take a controlable amount of volume out of your sound.

I have an old Alesis MIDIVERB II, wich those of who have heard it, will know as a cheap and unimpressive unit. After having had it disconnected for quite a while, I used it again (for old times sake), and found that I _do_ love the beautiful program 28.

It's _not_ natural or even remotely "good" - but produce a "lost in outer space" sound wich is perfect for some of my Oberheim Matrix 6 patches Smile

A friend of mine once played me some samples he'd treated with a "natural reverb chamber". This consisted of a small speaker and a microphone placed inside a metal locker. I worked very well for some drum sounds.

I recently did a reconstruction of a track for Chris Orczy. I processed his original track a lot using various natural chambers. I had microphones all over the apartment, and some outside too. I should add that I think of this as processing rather than simply adding reverb. I think he has released this CD now.

I've used the reverbs on my modulars like that for decades, so I know exactly what you mean. I also use either effects sends/returns or aux's to break-out of the console -> modular for further processing, then back to the console.

One of my favorite reverb tricks on the modular is the gated-reverb, where ya take a couple of osc.s > mixer>filter>reverb>vca, and set the 'release' time to zero. You only get the reverb while a key is depressed (or just feeling a little sad)

Emerson used this effect quite extensively.

Using good old-fashioned click-tracks, you can sync'-up all of these analog synth effects/modules with the recorded tracks, and overdub some pretty kewel stuff.

I have the Lexicon MPX550 and the TC Electronic M-One. Very good reverbs, but I like the M-One the most. In serial after the M-One I have hooked up an Akai MFC42 analogue filter for some efx at times.
