Re: Freq Shifter, Wilson Delay, Res Eq: Opinions...

2001-09-10 by Barry Michael

Andrew,
I have the shop panel called, I think, Soup Kitchen 1,
which has all the modules you mentioned in a single
panel. I don't use the freq. shifter much for external
sounds, although it does work great for that. It works
really great to alter the spectrum of a sound under
voltage control, in a different way than the
waveshapers do. I would think it would be very useful
for the types of sounds you describe. I use the Wilson
delay as much to delay control voltages as to delay
audio. It will do some twisted things that a lag
processor won't, such as multiple delays of a cv using
feedback, so that the cv regenerates without
retriggering. It takes some time to get the most out
of it, but what doesn't. The resonant EQ I use all the
time, in almost every patch. It is the best fine-
tuner for a sound in the whole Serge system IMO. The
bands are centered on very interesting frequencies. It
reminds me of the old White rotary pot EQs that I used
in the old days, except with subtle resonance in each
band. I don't use it so much for generating resonant
peaks, as I think it may have been intended.I would
love to see a version of it with VC of each bands
resonance, q width, etc. I use it more for the last
segment of the patch before output stage, to refine
the overall tonal characteristics of a sound. I will
probably add a second one to my system in future.To
tell you the truth, I really cannot imagine my system
Without these three modules. Seems like it would be
far less of a fully rounded system. HTH,
BarryM
