Hey dudes, haven't been around lately, but I figured out how to get that synth sound that's all over the first album and in bits of Lonerism (Apocalypse, Walk Home, Nothing Ever Happened) All you need is a Boss BR-600, that digital recorder Pitch Shift up an octave, half dry full wet (50:100) have some high gain amp modelling on delay on bam

Nice soundclip! Does the OP1 also act as a midi controller? If so, I might be interested in it! Yeah I'm pretty sure it does but I haven't used it for that yet since I don't know what that actually means... hahaha but thanks man!

Hey guys, I recently got a Teenage Engineering OP-1 second hand. I reckon all of you should check one out as it is a lot more useful then it may appear on first glance. Certainly not a toy IMO. The price is a little prohibitive though, but i really think its worth it. I've never had a synth before so I don't have anything to compare its sound with, but in my opinion they sound great anyway. There's a million and one things you can do on this machine that I can't go into detail with, but here's a little track I made with a vocal sample of myself () and onboard synths, the sequencer and sampler. Apologies if it sounds stupid to you because it probably is http://snd.sc/sgiJgg

I really want to know if me getting this pedal and blasting it at full volume will cause an earthquake and the displacement of people's hearts. If so, I am so in.

That murf sound is awesome. makes me want one. they did a set on kcrw and it has this awesome stereo effect.

Hahaha that's pretty funny considering it's Dom, who never actually talks that much. I don't reckon he was meaning to be an ass though, but HCFX would have jizzed to find out oh and new diamond vibrato or whichever one it is

Sounds like it's just being blasted from a tiny speaker, or maybe even the signal clipping. Such a good sound whatever it is Everyone of my childhood summers was spent in perth.. love the place. And yeah if you look at the video for jeremys storm in viva radio place, Dom is playing through a tiny little fender speaker, don't know if that would have been used in the studio, but you never know.

Why are they still taking orders for something that's sold out probably months ago? Anyone who's gone to their shows lately any chance they're selling vinyl copies of Innerspeaker there? The pressing died off. I don't even think 500 were made but apparently they are making more. I have one on backorder as well which is really annoying. There are a few on ebay which have been going for around 80 bucks.

Look guys, I just want to know what the {censored} the effect is on Alter Ego and Why Don't You Make Up Your Mind etc is. It is actually making me inside TVD got there, but I swear it's way less complicated then it really is. I even asked a fansite, and they said it was just a pitch-shifter. But 'just' pitchshifters don't make that awesome shimmery sound! I love Tame Impala.

Pedalboard from a few days ago

Fooled around with Guitar Rig + mah Whammy pedal. Got in the ballpark. http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/4/...tameimpala.mp3 That was pretty awesome man, how did you do that?

The bass player is also a girl

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I'm pretty sure that guitar synthy tone in Alter Ego isn't a POG/HOG kinda thing. It must be his microkorg

aussie rules football just because i haven't come across a more intense sport to watch when teams are evenly matched.

bump, because i want to know if anyone has figured out the guitar synth effect here

I would really like to know what fuzz pedal is turned on at 1:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcH4KcrGGZk It is a fuzz pedal since he steps on something live and keeps playing so it couldn't be a synth

I absolutely love them. I know they have a cult following here in Australia. I've never seen them live but from what I hear they could definitely improve on it. I guess that comes with experience but their song writing is great IMO. All their guitar tones come from putting phaser last in the chain. In the song "Alter Ego" if it's not a pog going on, I'm not entirely sure, but if that is a Verbzilla above he could perhaps be running the Octo (with no delay time) into the compressor, dirt, delay, then phaser? A shot in the dark, I thought it was a POG as well.

but i want the ps-3
