Unstrung Heroes: Chris Whitemyer on His Iconic Rock Journeys and High-Tech Guitar Rigs

[@DeloreanDave]

Awesome content! Can you ask chris to suggest we get a Fractal Tone pack for Muse. It would be very popular to say the least!

[@MrRunamuckroadie]

Probably not gonna happen.

@@MrRunamuckroadie do you think a neural DSP archetype plugin would be more likely, considering Manson and Neural DSPs recent affiliation? Or even some Bellamy patches on cortex cloud?

[@markburton3861]

This is great, thank you RJM 😃👍

[@spiderliam]

Amazing interview! If he comes on again, could you ask him about the setup for map of the problematique?

[@MrRunamuckroadie]

Nope some things are just going to be secret

@@MrRunamuckroadiehaha, fair enough. I have to say though, I know it’s a guitar signal split into 3, then sent to whammy pedals, one an octave up and one an octave down, and a signal at normal pitch then sequenced… I just wanted to know what is used to sequence the opening and closing/switching of each signal. I do it in Logic Pro by automating the three channels to turn on and off, but it took a long time to draw that automation in to get the exact correct sequence (especially when it came to lining it up to the grid perfectly 😩). Do you guys use automated sequencing software to control the sequence, or was it done manually, the way I do it in a DAW? If it is a program, is it one that’s commercially available?

[@MrRunamuckroadie]

@@spiderliamit’s a bit more than that but everything you said so far was correct..

[@spiderliam]

@@MrRunamuckroadie Ahh, wow, that's cool! are they still routed through synths like they did in the studio, with the +1 octave sent to a spring reverb? Rich Costey give a bit of a run down of how they did it in studio, but wasn't sure how much of that process carried over to the live situation.

I don't get guys who break guitars every show... what a waste.
