Fionn Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 What is this indefinite quality, known as "stank"? I've heard that some octavers possess it. What does "stank" mean? Is it one of those words that doesn't translate (you just instinctively know what it means)? If so, I might be onto something, but just asking to make sure. I know it's going to be tempting to tell me that it's the past-tense of stink. Don't, it's too obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Whenever I've heard the word "Stank" (always relating to octave pedals) it's used in a positive sense. "[i]That octaver has stank[/i]" ... like stank is a good thing :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I understand it under another term.....that term being "Utter Bo££o€ks" Hope this clarifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Envelope filters stank. The Fwonkbeta certainly does, it says so in the manual: [url="http://www.mrblack.jackdeville.com/manuals/fwonkbeta-manual.pdf"]http://www.mrblack.j...beta-manual.pdf[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnrl3gkAbGs[/media] Basically it's when a sound makes you pull a face like something stinks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUolzw50FaY&t=104 Edited July 19, 2016 by dannybuoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
