Nothing too spectacular, but a lovely lil creative effect for Pulsar/VST users (in my opinion).

If you put a long VST-plugin reverb on an audio track and route the output of that to a dedicated ASIO pair, by inserting a midi controlled gate in Pulsar you can create wicked rythmic patterns which evolve as the audio source changes.

(NB. Although it is fkng great, Hummel's LoFi synth isn't too good for this cos of it's long attack.)

I've done this on a vocal track in our latest tune (will eventually be grabbable from here but there's only an instrumental of the track (codenamed AlphaBeta)there right now. Sounds great and completely seperate from the original source. It helps that the vocals are pretty modal so the chords that build up in the reverb aren't *too* mushy.

Like I say, simple and prob done many times before but I wanna kick start some musical tips & tricks to run alongside all this tekkie stuff.

Cheers, and hello (1st post :smile:),
Sam.

For those that wanna hear what I was on about, a dodgily EQed version of the track is up, called "Not Today" (5.7Mb).

Its an ogg. If you don't know about this compression format, go to http://www.vorbis.org and get the plugin for WinAmp or use FreeAmp or Sonique, both of which play oggs natively.
