I love much just a little effects can transform otherwise ordinary sounds into something otherworldy. I bet if you added some Convolution reverb or granular synthesis it would get even more insane!
Pre wired piezo pickup I got off ebay. 4 pack. Sorry I may have cut that part out for some reason. This video was kind of thrown together, to be honest with you.
@@kilgore-recordings yeah, you could use fort mallets and play like a marimba. add fuzz or something or just lots of reverb but cool designs man its really interesting.
is there any chance you have this all written down somewhere so if someone wanted to do it they could? I'm a beginner but this is exactly what i want to make.
Effects come from the pedal, sound comes from the piezo pickup, which captures the sounds of the springs and everything else on the box. You should research how a piezo pickup works. If that doesn't convince you, I will gladly upload another video without any fx pedals, just the noise box and a clean tone on the amp.
@@kilgore-recordings I know how a piezo mic works. I meant the result. I have used piezo microphones countless times. show us a sound example without FX. i think it sounds sobering. but no Offense
@@curtis_chip the magic definitely comes from the effects, but the initial sound input comes from the vibrations through the mic. the box is a starting point and the effects send it home. id wire up two mics though to evenly capture the vibrations tho
I tuned mine to C minor blues pentatonic. Theres 2 notes for the A# which I tuned on either side of sharp and flat, for extra spicy closed voicing Kalimba chords.
