Here is a clip of the main guitar riffs from U2’s songs “Bad” and “Where the Streets Have No Name”.Įach riff starts with the exact thing Edge is playing on his guitar during the songĪnd then the delay/echo is turned on half way through, resulting in the sound you know: Hopefully it will help you think a little bit differently about how you use delay in your own songs. Is because of his ‘secrets’ that are revealed here. That’s good news though: maybe the reason that The Edge sounds a little better than you when he plays ‘Streets’ Settings he used for that song and others and I found out that the real answer is a little more interesting. Out of curiosity, I studied the audio tracks closely and calculated the exact How his delay sounds and how he uses them are a great resource for any serious guitar Most of us won’t ever play in a U2 tribute band or try to cover a U2 song in the studio, butĭiscovering how The Edge uses his ‘trademark’ guitar delay is not limited to that. And there’s a lot more of this stuff elsewhere, as well.What’s so interesting about The Edge’s guitar delay?
(Because it’s really a grain sampler and not just a delay, you may also want to check out the terrific video tutorial Peter Dines did in Reaktor. And, Andreas, I’m with you … I prefer the granular stretching sound. But if you’re a Max user (or Pd user willing to do a little bit of porting), this should more than satisfy your appetite for warping.
That said, actually, you might enjoy those artifacts.
#SIMPLE DELAY MAX PATCH PATCH#
This patch aims for the same sound quality (absence of artifacts) as the time stretching features of mainstream applications such as Ableton Live or Reaktor. Granular time stretching has the advantage over a spectrum-based (phase vocoder) approach that it has no inherent latency.
#SIMPLE DELAY MAX PATCH DOWNLOAD#
This patch uses the pitch~ object by CNMAT, that you can download here: Time stretching and pitch shifting without artifacts (Max 5 only).
Real-time, natural sounding granular time stretcher / pitch shifter, version 009, patches only. An MPC-inspired drum sampler? You got it.
#SIMPLE DELAY MAX PATCH FREE#
Now, can we get a Pd (Pure Data) port for a truly free experience, anyone? More GoodiesĪndreas Wetterberg (of Covert Operators) points to Mattijs Kneppers’ wonderful work. Hope this leads to some other great patching work. It allows for much more control and customization (fft size, overlap, etc.) than “elastic~” does, and it’s FREE!įree_Elastic: Independent Pitch/Speed Control in Max Įven if you like elastic~, you can’t really argue with the nice work Devin did on his patch. This Max patch uses high-quality, FFT pitch shifting and is based on the standard groove~ object. So I took 15 minutes and made a simple patch and video demonstrating what I’m calling “Free_Elastic”. Aside from saving you some dough, that has the significant advantage of being able to easily share patches based on his patch with fellow Max users. Unlike elastic~, it uses all included Max objects.
But Max guru Devin Kerr put his money where his mouth was - or is that, no money where his … um … ears are - and released a free version. I wasn’t personally so blown away by it, but it looked interesting, and it uses algorithms used in a number of commercial projects. Tuesday, I covered a GBP20 Max object for independent tempo and pitch modification in Max 5:Įlastic~: Pitch, Speed Control Module for Your Max 5 Patch Well, this is the first time I can remember this happening.
