[sdiy] Advice / audio manglers

[Bret Truchan]

Hello Brad!

Although I don't own one and never played with one (!!), I hear a lot of 
really good stuff about the Sherman Filterbank.  Can anyone on this list 
comment care to comment on it?

.. what I really wanted to comment on is audio manglers.  I love analog 
gear.  I really really do.  However, I've found it fairly limited in its 
capacity to completely mangle audio.  You CAN use filters, distortion, ring 
modulators, and a slew of other tools - but my favorite audio mangler is 
Reaktor.  Yep, another software synth. *grin*  The sampling units in Reaktor 
can really rip apart a sample and play though it in unusual ways.  Reaktor 
is expensive and takes a while to master.

It's _possible_ to do this with analog modular gear, but it's quite an 
investment. [$600 just for an Analogue Systems RS290 sampler.  You're 
looking at > $2000.00 for a decent system.]


Cheers!  Have fun!
- Bret
