It would be nice to hear a few clips of different combinations of them in series. In particular I'd like to hear the b3k/b7k into bddi.

A good many singers alter their pronunciation of some letters and sounds to avoid excessive fricatives, plosives, etc. [/quote] A few have. Most responses I get to it though is people misunderstanding what I'm saying (room=woomb, rare=where, etc).

I have a different problem than most seam to here, I seam to do fine with pitch/tone (have been caught singing along to things and asked why I'm not a singer), but I pronounce R as a voiced W. This leaves me hateing singing in front of people.

EQing back in freq.s that have been taken out is hard. Id suggest either look at using a loop pedal with a blend, or getting it MODed to let more low end threw (though youd have to find someone else to help there).

the G2 seams to be the only one that gives you control over the signal chain via midi, which is nice. Wish they would do a cheaper/smaller version with just the in/out(+send/returns) and midi sockets though. As far as controlling analogue effect parameters goes, you either need something like [url="http://koma-elektronik.com/?product=rh301-rhythm-workstation-utility-tool"]this[/url] (probably with an [url="http://missionengineering.com/?product=expressionator-2"]expressionator[/url] to turn CV to expression), or go for pedals like [url="http://chaseblissaudio.com/"]chase bliss[/url] or [url="http://empresseffects.com/collections/pedals/products/tremolo"]empress[/url] which have analogue signal chains but work with midi. Heres a video of the chase bliss pedals, just because im GASing for a warped vinyl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSKWJA_SlCg

What exactly is it you want to achieve by integrating your pedalboard more into your midi setup? If you want to bypass different pedals with program change messages, then maybe something like the [url="http://www.voodoolab.com/hex_switcher.htm"]voodoo labs hex[/url].

Check out [url="https://www.ovnilab.com/"]this[/url] website, it should help.

[url="https://amptonelab.com/shop/xy-midipad-mini/"]These[/url] look infinitely more useful, as theyre a control midi instead of just a multiFX.

I am looking for a pedal (/box/thing) that i input a MIDI clock, and a gate (my bass), and outputs an envelope via CV? I really would like to control the ADSR with syncronised AD&R (like 1/2 1/4 3/8 1/4* 1/8 etc). Is anything like that available? Basically i would like something like [url="http://www.synthesizers.com/q109.html"]this[/url], but with midi sync. Bonus points: In a box (preferably pedal shaped) LFOs Gigrig friendly powersupply Thanks in advance for any/all help.

I think the MXR M87 is bassed off of the 1176? [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/"]And the obligatory ovnilab link[/url]

How about 'Joan Minor' as band name?

Ah yes, i keep forgetting that the big effects companies hate midi.

Interesting, will look forward to hearing more from the impact rerelease. Im also wondering how the sy300 works as a bass to midi note data converter (i presume it can with the midi out), though i fear its probably a bit too big to replace my sonuus B2M.

I'd go ahead and pull the trigger on the gigrig power, this like might help work things out: http://www.thegigrig.co.uk/PBCPPlayer.asp?ID=1620745 As far as getting more pedals, I would just let GAS sort that one out... Maybe look for a reverb if your looking for ideas. The best thing to do would just be to play about with what you have. Maybe get a multi FX, like a zoom ms60bb, so you can try a load of things out with what you have and see how they fit. Also, bitcrushers are fun.

Heres a video i found of it against a G5 and a Deep Impact. I think that he had the sy300 sounds set a bit too resonant on most of the sounds though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gCFHs1B_cI

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1445445927' post='2891563'] Maybe turn down to meet them ? [/quote] Nah, just add a dirt pedal or two to the bass.

[quote name='Naetharu' timestamp='1445433391' post='2891434'] The main factor in volume I think comes down the drummer - for heavy music where the drummer really needs to dig in to get the kind of attack needed to carry the beat it's going to be louder and thus so is everyone else. And to a point that sonic onslaught is part of the tone. Its just getting a balance between loud enough to make it sound massive and yet not so loud that you just make it into a horrible noise. [/quote] This. The drummer on the whole dictates the minimum volume a band can play at.

I use a BDDI sim on my zoom multiFX, i have it neat the end of my chain (after dirt pedals, before delay). I prefer the zoom to an individual BDDI clone as it has a MIDs control (and i also have a gate and amp sim as allways on on it aswell). But to answer the actual question: Id suggest you place it after the EHX, but as allways with pedal position, try it in as many different combinations as you can, and see what (and more importantly why) position you like it in.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1445247642' post='2889835'] Surely any single sound cannot be musical, unless it is repeated? My boiler and dishwasher make great beats. The resonance in the lift at my mate's flat creates a very relaxing harmony which seems to cycle. Almost everything is musical if you're listening, but it has to be more than just a short sound with no repetition. [/quote] I'd say thus video sums up if a note is musical or not [media]http://youtu.be/cyW5z-M2yzw[/media]

[quote name='Skinnyman' timestamp='1445187257' post='2889428'] In the book "how music works", by John Powell, he differentiates a musical note from any other sound by the repetition of the waveform. To quote: "Musical notes are different from non-musical noises because every musical note is made up of a ripple pattern which repeats itself over and over again. In the illustration below there are some examples of the ripple patterns of notes produced by different instruments. To be a musical note, it doesn't really matter how complicated the individual ripples are, as long as the pattern repeats itself." Made sense to me.... [/quote] That makes a lot of sense.

I used to think that John Cage was just a pretentious until i learned the was a student of Schdenberg (creator of that whole 12 tone expressionist movement).

Im not an expert in musicology, but im pretty sure that its all to do with maths, harmonic wave patterns, and our own internal clock.

Well, for that money id probably just borrow a bass and combo, then buy a frantabit and a b1on, and hope that they turn up in time.
