Harmonizers
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2015 1:18 pm
Not specifically hunting for gear-specific stuff here, but concepts, advice, and listening suggestions.
I recently scored a super cheap Digitech IPS-33B, which does the Whammy stuff and a few Space Station-y things, but using just those features ignores the intelligent harmony modes with two added voices. (It does "dumb" non scalar pitch shifting, too.) So I'm trying to get ideas for applications. I get harmony, intervals, scales, modes, theory stuff. But I'm not sure what to use the harmony modes on that doesn't seem stupidly obvious. Anyone gone through this "so now that I've got it what the hell do I do with it?" learning curve with a harmonizer?
I've been trying to find stuff to listen to for ideas. I'd prefer not to have to listen to Vai, Satriani, and assorted shredders, though Buckethead cool if any of his tracks have good use. I've found the first Tin Machine album, which leans heavily on the same Digitech that I have. Any more ILF-ish things?
