effects- bubbly, farty, liquefying

zedsalt	Date: April 19, 2008 @ 4:10 AM So, what's everyone's favorite effect for the kind of sound described in the subject line? I've been chasing that sort of sound for a long time, and I've been lucky to add some effects to the ol' arsenal that have proven truly useful...just not for achieving the tone I was going for. Suggestions?

zedsalt	Date: April 20, 2008 @ 4:24 AM I read that the first time Jimi heard one of his tracks treated with some flanging, he said something along the lines of. "That's it! That's the sound I hear in my dreams where I live underwater!". So I got myself an EH Electric Mistress...a brushy dry sort of swooshy, kind of a mechanical sound...REALLY cool, but not what I was going for. I bought a Moogerfooger MF101...Wow! It does SO many things SO well, but again, not what I was going for. I got another EH product, the Dr. Q envelope...like my Mistress, great tones, but not "it". I have two early '70s, Bob Moog designed, Maestro Stage Phasers that I got for less than a buck each...great "vowel-like" bloopy splatty tones, but a time-based effect, not real responsive to attack, and something that I really overuse. So what effect, new or used, could give me the sort of "wet" that the Maestro does, but apply it to the attack of each note? A Mutron III? A cheap Boss AutoWah? Some boutiquey envelope pedal? Anybody?
zedsalt	Date: April 20, 2008 @ 4:25 AM Huh. The first bit of my post got cut off. The quote...or as close as I could get off the top of my head...was from Jimi Hendrix.

leedsquietman	Date: April 20, 2008 @ 10:00 AM I can make all manner of stuff in Ableton Live and chain it using 'racks'. Filter/Granular delays with various modulation effects (phase, chorus, flange), tape delays or echos etc, vocoder style fx. Chaining multiple fx. Also putting sounds through a synth can do a lot. And blending in ambiences from synths from the likes of Absynth or Reaktor.
zedsalt	Date: April 21, 2008 @ 3:36 AM Hmm. Don't suppose there are any freeware VSTs of this sort that you're really hot on? Or something inexpensive that'll plug into Cakewalk or Audacity? You did give me an idea or two, though, for effects I hadn't been looking for. I knew I'd get some good ideas here at DM. My Moogerfooger is a lot like taking anything you can put a mic to or run a cable from, and running the sound through the envelope and LFO section of an analog synth.
zedsalt	Date: April 21, 2008 @ 3:41 AM Hey! There's an idea- run a WAV of a guitar solo through my WAV-to-MIDI software, then play/record the MIDI file through my Minimoog emulator. It's a really glitchy process, but I've been using the heck out of that glitchiness to make other sounds. This could be cool...
