Hello,

a couple of weeks back I made my first BETTER BLEEPS series video in a long while on Rob Hordijk's poor mans delay technique that gives a fake reverb effect. Here's that video.

From a true AHA moment in reading and replying to a comment on that video I realised how this could be vastly improved upon making it applicable to more sequencing/playing methods and also just tonally a more flexible and better sounding effect.

Watch the first video first if you haven't, then watch this one. I'd love to hear what results you get if you try this and if it leads to other ideas, approaches and sounds.

There is a MASSIVE update on our Tap-O-Matic group DIY buy/build that's going to post as this one does. PLEASE READ ALL OF THAT POST as it outlines absolutely everything we're doing.

Lots more in the works so I'll be back soon but see you in the Discord!

VASTLY IMPROVED FAKE REVERB FROM RING MOD // an extension of the last BETTER BLEEPS

Building on Rob Hordijk's 'poor mans delay' technique that I first explored in this recent video - https://youtu.be/hL5LdJw8QmI - watch this one first if you haven't, as this is a follow on from it. There's a VCV rack patch & PDF to download at the Gumroad link below from the original video that shows the base technique. The new technique vastly improves on it so after all that, give this a watch!
