Karnevil #9 was actually done
with the output of a sample&hold to the FM input of a filter (I
think I read that in a long-ago keyboard interview with KE's
tech). But that's ∗not∗ to say that same effect couldn't be
achieved with a sequencer - the pattern would just be more
repetitive.
Actually, I meant the very end of the record (where the Moog goes crazy and blows up with all the smoke coming out of it, and the sequence spins around your head in ... QUAROPHONIC!!) not the "Welcome back my friends..." bit.
In the guitar world, the AdrenaLinn is a very cool device that uses
a sequencers to modify the parameters of various well-known guitar
effects. The results are spectacular, particularly when the
sequencer is sync'd to the tempo of the tune. Move over all you
keyboard players (oops, now I'm in for it).
More boring syuff: when the AdrenaLinn first came out, I REALLY
REALLY wanted one but I had an addiction problem (MOTM). So
instead, I hooked my guitar through a 440 gated by an 800 driven by
a 101 and got really nice results. I put the output of that through
either an Oakley Equinoxe or a 410 for more funkiness. Coolio!
I'd very much like to check this out. There are actually quite a few of us geetar players out here in MOTM land and we're ready to take on all them keyboard players!
