Re: Lacing a Tape Frame

2012-02-18 by mellotronmadness

It wouldn't be easy, you would need to use the pitch control and it would have to alter some notes and not others, if you listen to the intro the D+E at the end wobble but the other notes don't. I don't see how you could do that live on an M4000D, and if you had bought one I guess you wouldn't want to.
