I know you can have real fun with tape speeds, anyway I think it was like you say a little tweaking on the PRA board, since the pitch of the modulator at its max ( 2.5 KHz ) is correct and usually the man recorded on the fly even if his engineer ( Raphael Preston at the times ) was a mod freak ;-) !!!

Hey Max ... there were adjustments on the ringmod (PRA)card for which affected the time factor in the eg on the ringmod......however when you listen to music that has been recorded in a Studio, it was common to vari the speed of a multitrack recorder..... If you recorded at 30 IPS and played back at 15 IPS... you could enhance and solidify the low end of keyboard pads based on the bias of the tape used....you could gain an octave further 32' at the expence of the 2' and all your envelopes would be twice as long........

Hi allDoes anyone know the Vangelis piece called "See you later" ? I have a question about it. If you listen to the track you happen to hear a CS-80 ringmodulation sweep at low key: well the fact is that the envelope cycle lasts very long compared to the usual values of the original envelope , you can hear 3-4 secs attack and over 15 secs decay...but there is the point: is that sweep coming from a CS-80? If yes does anyone know if such a mod on the RM envelope was possible at the times?Thx for your reply!
