Subject:: [idm] Cylob- Cut The Midrange, Drop The Bass

Just listening to Cylob's ace new track. Hearing the speech emulator has kicked a nostalgia for all the early 90s hardcore for me (Wishdokta, Zero B, Utah Saints, etc.)- especially, "I'll take your brain to another dimension." Just sick! I have a quetsion though. It seems pretty clear that he is using the Mac voices from SimpleText but how are the melodies being made? I know that you can alter factors like word rate and pitch but Chris is using it to play chords and melodies synched to the tempo. Does anybody have any technical suggestions as to how this is going on? It seems as though he is treating it like a vocoder. Any thoughts on this would be welcomed because, when I use computer vocals on tracks, it is so laborious as to be futile. John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I remember him saying exactly how he did something similar to this for Rewind in an interview. If I remember correctly it was a lot of splicing, editing and hard work. The MP3 link could be the Radio 1 interview in which he talks about it, but my girlfriend's got my eachphones today so I'm not sure. http://www.33-rpm.net/%7Ecylob/lobr1.mp3 Glenn John Counts wrote:
