Dear List,
I've been trying to recreate the effect that can be heard on Pavement's The Hexx (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N5tx68-d2I). It sounds like a constantly downward detuning reverb, I have no idea if this is an existing guitar effect or if it was created in studio by Nigel Godrich. My last attempt resulted in this ( http://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/detuning-delay/), which doesn't really sound like the original at all...
I think I need delay lines driven by a phasor with a squared output, so that the speed at which the length of the delays increases is not constant. I also think I need to envelop the delay lines somehow, and switch between them so that the maximum length is never reached. But right now I short of ideas. From what i've found on the web, this should be doable with a granular delay, but I never used any granular stuff.
Any suggestion is welcome...
Cheers!
Pierre.
