Vongon Polyphrase into Ultrasheer on Piano

Well heck. Vongon just knows how to do it. Ultrasheer is new to me and Polyphrase is an all-time favourite. So here is some piano bouncing around between them. Later I forget to play piano altogether and just let the feedback do its thing.
00:00 Polyphrase
01:11 Ultrasheer Vibrato
02:15 Reverb
07:15 Short time high feedback
08:22 Playing with feedback
09:00 Tuning the feedback
11:30 Back to normal

I thank you for the oscillation warning. I was watching with my significant other in the room. She can't handle the harsh noise. I gave her a warning before I hit play, but you had my back. "Back to normal", volume up. Great Sunday morning ambience, thank you

Hey thanks! I’m glad the warning helped. I should put warnings up more regularly!

Stunning!

[@basementlyle]

Thank you! 🥰

Wow, that vibrato from the Ultrasheer is sensational. So natural and tasteful and it pairs so beautiful with the Polyphrase, as well as your playing. Love the curious nature of this one. When you engage the reverb it's just so gorgeous. 10's all around.

Thanks my friend! 🥰Ultrasheer does basically two things, but they are just so dialled in that seemingly everything sounds better though it. Having that sample and hold vibrato just makes everything feel organic (and super wide).

Very interesting textures. GAS definitely kicks in... But alas! Finances prohibits pedal purchases at the moment. However those flat patch cables looks nice :) Where did you get those?

[@basementlyle]

Thanks! I relate to the GAS and the financial conflict it brings big time. Those cables are Ernie Ball Flats. I got them in a variety pack and they have been reliable and low profile. I also get cables from Tour Gear Designs. They make some flat cables with things like stereo trs to dual mono.

@@basementlyle Cheers!

[@dougiejonestrio6188]

That sounds really cool. Can it be synced as well?

[@basementlyle]

Thanks! Yes it can either with tap tempo or midi. :)

Wow what a trip! Incredible mix of sounds and feels! 👌👏👏👏🔥

[@basementlyle]

Thanks man!🥹 I was like these sound really pretty together but also maybe I should make gross sounds as well.

[@wintermute101]

@@basementlyle hell yes you gotta get gross with these. It’s science!

[@basementlyle]

At the risk of sounding dense... the routing is piano -> polyphrase -> ultrasheer -> interface, all in stereo? What's the cabling look like here?

[@basementlyle]

That’s right! I really prefer stereo when possible because I’m always working in headphones. So my interface is a MOTU Ultralite mk5 so I have lots of ins and outs for this sort of thing. The piano is a VST (Teletone Golden Age Grand). I have it on its own track in logic and use a stereo send out from my interface outputs 3&4. I’m using a 6 foot stereo 1/4 cable to reach the pedals. They are patched to each other with the Ernie Ball flat patch cables and they go to the Elektron Analog Heat mk2 for a bit of added volume and saturation and back in to the interface on channels 3&4 via another 6 foot stereo cable. I record them on a stereo track and keep my original “dry” signal on as well. So it’s two stereo tracks in the final recording that I just apply a bit of mastering to at the end. 😀
