Interesting effect boxes

Post any effect units that you consider "not average". Like some grain effects, bit shifting, third signal controls how two earlier are mixed, pitchshifter with pitch regulated by signals amplitude, sample-hold-play-backward, etc...

Not to be a nag but should this not be in Sound Production? Sounds like an ideal topic for that section of the forum.

Don't think so, it is still about the hardware itself, not about techniques. Of course it is highly related to techniques.

Aye, but this is General Synthesisers.

The hardware you are referring to are effects boxes, racks etc. They belong in Sound Production because anything relating to sound that isn't a synth should go there.

At least that's what I think is the case.

the boss phase shifter is a goofy box that I paid $50 for....I wouldnt pay more than that for it but I found it entertainig...I perfer the MXR 90 for general phase but there are some fun modulation type effects that sound decent enough...I wouldnt mind getting a experession pedal for it....

I'm getting the Jomox M-Res later this afternoon, I'd say it falls into the category of atypical effects. I suspect that in the right hands it will be a dub-machine.

I'd also say that the RAM (live recording capability) of the MDUW can be stupid powerful, as you have ridiculous control over what happens to the audio stream. Once Elektron get around to fixing the bug that crashes the OS when you assign LFOs to the sample start/end points....

if it is about sound after it leaves the synth it goes in sound production.

furthermore, if you would have browsed sound prodcution before making this thread you would have found that several like it already exist.

some leftfeild effects....

mid fi glitch computer ( 2 octave down fuzz pedal with poor tracking)
frostwave alienator ( analog bit decimator)
anything by 4ms ( nocto loco, noise swash, temelus lune..)
lexicon vortex
kaoss pad
metasonix waveshaper (tube waveshaping ring modulator)
mid fi pitch pirate ( vibrato/chorus type kinda delays sorta)
L.A.L. cyber pyshic ( multi oscillator filter)
theres more i can think of just not right now......

Digitech Whammy - chorus, phaser, Leslie/Univibe, harmonizer and interactive pitch-shifter

i use the Korg ESX as a sequencing fx processor - ringmod, formant filter, phaser, flanger, grain-shifter, decimator (bitcrusher), bpm delay, modulated bpm delay all chainable or independent, up to 3 at a time.
Radius & R3 can do some similar tricks.

and i love a spring reverb

It's digital, except for the filter.

Novation A-Station would be well worth it as an effects box... The lack of a syncable phaser on the Nova annoys the h**l out of me.

You can't have analog unit that works on bit's. Bit's are characteristic for digital electronics.
