OK, never heard ESG before. Apparently I need to rectify this situation. Wow.laoganma wrote:A request: the really bendy modulating flange guitar in "UFO" by ESG.
It sounds like a single delay line with a triangle or sine LFO. This might be hard to get in ÜberMod, as all the delay lines are stereo, with antiphase LFOs. One channel might do something close, but the other will be doing something far different.I can get close but can't seem to get the modulation to bend as drastically. Seems like an LFO is being modulated by either another LFO or an envelope follower triggered by the guitar to give it that almost rhythmic movement. Martin Hannett would've been using a Marshall Time Modulator or AMS DMX at the time, I wonder did those units have some kind of follower input? Any tips as to how I can get a similar kinda movement in UberMod?
You can hear a similar sound in the intro to "Exercise One" by Joy Division:
This is what came out of my attempt to duplicate this sound. It isn't close at all, but it sounds cool:
