Effects Processor to run Amiga through
« on: March 26, 2012, 02:46:40 AM »
I would like to find something to run my Amiga audio into that will give me the ability to add in adjustable vocoder effects, flange, and the like. I am hoping to find something cheap and organic sounding, more analog, less digital sounding...

Got any hardware suggestions. Audio interests range from old school dirty industrial sounds, experimental Hip-Hop, and Pink Floyd/Legendary Pink Dots.

Hmmm, gonna look into some of the hard ware you guys mentioned.

Treg sounds like it might be fun to mess with, but outside of that, please, no Windows or Mac software suggestions, I'm looking for a hardware solution only and again, not necessarily something to make "dance music" with. :)

I believe what I'm going to do is order a Boss GT-6. I saw a video where a guy was running his MicroKorg through it (which I also have) and it sounded beautiful!  

I could then run the Amiga through the Korg's input, then on from there if not directly to the BOSS. I "might" try the Eleairfx or Nanoverb 2 out later as I may want a secondary effects machine later on down the road.

In the mean time I ordered an  Akai Xr-20 drum machine...

Couldn't help myself. ;)

I found an old SGR Mach II at the local music shop today. Talked them down to $40 so I figured it would be worth a shot. Heading home to try this out now.

Wonder how one utilizes MIDI with an effects processor?

Alesis AirFx on the way! :)

I know a guy who could make you the hardware exactly how you would like it. He's an old friend and he makes effects units and custom instruments. I have no idea how much he would charge you however.

If it's an organic sound your after you could try something a little radical like this:

Or for a cheaper more normal effects unit how about one of these:

http://www.alesis.com/nanoverb2

only £80 on ebay and well respected.

And I'm heading in the opposite direction. From software to hardware. :)

I prefer the knobs, but tablet apps are pretty cool. Thing is though that I'm working on finding more reasons to ween my self off Apple and Microsoft, and that who most of the apps are for.

Now if Haiku/BeOS makes as huge a come back as I'm predicting, then I'll prolly use more software outside of the Amia again.

Edit: are there good music apps for droid?

And the KP3 is here...

As some of you may have noticed, I began uploading tutorials on how to use my hardware with the Amiga.

I will of course be covering the KP3 as I get more familiar with it, but in the mean time, look here:

THankx again for all the advise! :)
