Quick and dirty series of effects inspired by an acousmonium, used in the album « Spirit of Technocoumatics ». (clik on picture above to download).

FX is used several times throughout the album, but a quick overview can be heard around 3’37 on Technocousmatic 1

The combi knobs & buttons are not used, you need to open it up to have access to a mixer, each channel representing one « position », defined by reverb & panning.

  • FX1 is a simply playing around with pan & reverbs.
  • FX2 has additional delays included.
  • For those who want to take it a step further, FX3 is doubled between an FX2 function, and an FX « damaged speaker » function. (feel free to play around with the distos though, FX3 was quickly put together and never really used)

I wouldn’t suggest to use these as spatial positioning tools, but rather as spatialisation tools, making the sound move around as it is being played.
