this is somewhat off-topic, depending on the context, but... i just got an
esi4000 sampler and it has a great effect called 'transform multiply' which
takes two samples, combines their like frequencies and discards the rest.
the result is great for coming up with new, creepy sounds from two ordinary
samples.
the problem is, it takes 20 minutes for 2-second mono samples (hey its a
sampler not a celeron 450). does anyone know how to do this same thing via
pc or mac software? this sounds almost like something you could do with a
vocoder if it was set up right (not in the 'me make robot noise' sense, but
in the fact that you have two signals modulated).
and also...does anyone know any artists that use this? i dont want to go
down this road if it's been killed already.
thanks,
