Re: OT: zoom boss korg- How to use the Sampletrak as a synth!!!

Do you have
any quick tip teasers right now, or any audio samples on hand featuring some
of your uses for this device?


Essentially The zoom makes it so easy to sample and resample that once you get in a groove with it (get a flow with using the pads) you can carry a sample so far form its source that the zoom ends up acting more like a synth or a wave editor than a sampler.  All of eth fx on my page were made with nothing but a crate of records and the zoom. in case anyone missed:

Due to the expressed interest Il work up a tutorial(s) Heres whats in store.  Some of you who know synthesis sound design can figure this stuff yourselves

The HIDDEN reverb effect (since the original one sucks).
how to get a better chorus effect  (cmon now, this ones obvious).
A way to play the thing live on (almost) its own (silly but works- and hella fun too)

im not sure if im the one causing trouble with html but my emails are plain text. :)

ill post the page in a day or so.

ah, what the hell i wont torture you too much:


SECRET REVERB ON THE ZOOM


reverb is really just a lot of small delays.  Effect Enable the pad you want to use the (new) reverb on, and set the effect to DELAY.  Put the edit 2 wheel at about 9 oclock and the edit 1 wheel all the way down. While hitting the sample continously to test, slowly move the edit 1 wheel up .  Youll hear a little flange/chorus sound that will slowly turn into a reverb then become a delay.  The point at which the delays start to sound like seperate samples is the point this "secret" reverb ends and the standard delay effect begins.  When you hear it start to sound like a delay, just pull the edit 2 wheel slightly back to the "reverb" sweet spot.  :)

works well on most things- can be used on drums but Ive found the trouble isnt worth it, since there is a very specific sweet spot thehre where the drums dont sound delayed, and the result is barely noticable reverb.



more to come
