Fantastic, can’t wait 🥳
The 30 seconds extended sound on sound update is out!
Can anyone offer an opinion on how the chorus itself compares to something like FAC Chorus?
IMO nothing on iOS can touch FAC Chorus purely for sound. It’s a thing of beauty. They said, the app does sound quite good.
Well, I mean all the chorus has is an intensity knob and a width knob so you couldn't really compare them but it does have a lovely sound. I think the magic must lie in the way the chorus and delay just complement each other so well.
The chorus really is a good representation of an early 80s BBD chorus. It’s got a good chewy thickness without being too pitchy. Definitely meshes well with the echo, but usable on its own too! Sounds kind of like the Boss CE-2. Restrained a bit, but still lush, and focused.
The FAC chorus is still the king. It can do much more in general. More like the Juno synth chorus with that beautiful off kilter “slop” sound.
Great description! Yeah the FAC one is really the king of lushness. 'a good chewy thickness without being too pitchy' haha, excellent.
The tfx echo and mod Auv3s have some of this quality I think, as those are very clean bbd, and this one is also great for clean sounds, unlike the more typical dirty bbd vibe of things like dubstation, ratshack reverb etc
anyone else noticed that stereo channels on the NA 501 seem to be implemented like 2 units in parallel? so the independent wow & flutter on left & right adds a lovely chorus effect to SOS echoes. this is unlike other tape echoes, which act more like parallel tracks on tape, with the same wow & flutter on left & right channels. afaict, for unchorused echoes on the 501 you need to use it as a mono fx.
Two units is indeed how it would be done in the real world, that's very nice
Edit: with a 201, that is!
Were you able to get it mono? With widths turned minimum it didn’t quite sound it to me and if I put a mono node after it in AUM it sounded really weird and phasey
i just send a mono mix to left channel & ignore right output.
Many days later, I finished watching the interview. So interesting. Highly recommended, even if you don't love the Police. I was amazed by the range of his knowledge and he tells the greatest stories so casually! I mean, he TOOK JIMI HENDRIX'S GUITAR and just started playing it! And made Jimi play bass!!
I was a huge Police fan when I was a teenager. Sting was my first hero, though I distinctly recall that my failed attempt at a "punk" haircut like Sting's earned me the nickname "George" — for George Goebel, the goofy comedian who had been on "Hollywood Squares," which was just as brutal as it was accurate.
But for a long time I was unaware of Andy Summers's genius. I do remember being stunned the first time I heard the solo for "Driven to Tears" — SO ugly and SO magnetic. Only when I put the bass down and started to learn guitar did I understand.
I remember figuring out "Message in a Bottle." Every other song I tried to learn that seemed hard always had a trick to playing it: Drop D, capo, play it in a different position, and then it came easy. But "Message in a Bottle" has this impossible stretch that repeats all over the neck. It makes perfect sense that Sting wrote it and made Andy play it — and Andy, hidden virtuoso that he is, plays it flawlessly. It explains the Police in a nutshell: Sadist writes a perfect and impossible-to-play song, perfectionist plays it perfectly — and Stewart Copeland refuses to be outdone and so he invents a new genre of drumming.
I haven't watched the interview (I'll see if I can find the time), but I think Andy Summers had been around the block a few times prior to joining Police, kicking around the music scene since the sixties. All 3 of them were much more proficient and technical musicians than their punk contemporaries, to the point where no-one really thinks of Police as a punk band these days, although they definitely tried to pass themselves off as one in an effort to catch the zeitgeist in the mid-seventies.
I have a lot more time for Andy and Stuart than I do Sting. Stuart always comes across as affable and funny, and the Andy Summers film (Can't Stand Losing You) is worth watching. I think the fact that Sting never shared the songwriting credit (or the songwriting royalties!) for Every Breath You Take, despite the fact that the main hook in the song (the signature riff) was written by Andy Summers, tells you all you need to know about the dynamics in that band and the character of their frontman.
Don't want to totally derail the Nembrini chorus thread, but while we're discussing....
What you say about Sting's character is true, @richardyot. He was a pretentious diva and must have been a nightmare to work with. But he was also the biggest rock icon on the planet for, like, four years, and was the absolute focal point of the Police. It's hard to argue that he shouldn't feel that it was his band. He was a phenomenal singer and a truly gifted songwriter. The guitar part to "Every Breath You Take" is deceptively simple and glorious, but it's nothing without that manipulative unresolved E minor.
Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers were without exception brilliant, but if Sting wasn't in their band, I don't know that would would even know their names.
Still, Andy and Stewart are pretty much universally beloved, and Sting? How hard would it have been for him to share? Sting, you were my hero!
And just googling to make sure that I was right about Andy never actually recording with Soft Machine when I learned that THE GUY IS 81 YEARS OLD. HOW?
I always considered Last Christmas one of the best song from the Police.
But what about Take On Me
Love that one, from their first album Kill em All.
I’m curious if it’s just me but does anyone else prefer this over the AudioThing release? I love both and maybe I need to spend more time with Outer Space but I just find myself gravitating to this more and using this more. The SoS function is excellent.
Yea it’s great but I still prefer Outer Space for the wow/flutter controls and the individual head volume and panning control.
Yes I think I personally find the Nembrini more interesting, more unique, just in terms of the sounds I'm getting out of it. It does clean beautifully but can also be super grungy. The SOS aspect could easily be done by Gauss or another looper, but the chorus / echo combo is really very musical, I love it. In terms of UI etc I massively prefer Audiothing's Space Echo though. Nembrini are great but I don't like their UI design, definitely their weak spot - of course, regarding the look, this is partly just a matter of personal taste, but the Audiothing is also far more feature rich, with stuff like the customizable randomiser and lots more.
Bought it and like it 👍
Yeah both apps have their place and there is lots to like about Outer Space. I’ve just found myself reaching more for the Nembrini app and didn’t really notice it until last night when I reached for it yet again lol
Ah yeah those are stand outs of the AudioThing app for sure. I love both but veer towards the Nembrini app a bit more. I need to spend more time with Outer Space though. Maybe this will inspire me to.
You win 🏅 😂😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌
Does anyone know how long the sale will last?
Nembrini 501 Chorus Echo is one of those apps that, when you select the first patch on the list (“80s Chorus"), and you are good to go, job done! It sounds like FX came from the mythological blacksmith using forbidden magic. If this app ever gets stuck on just this one patch, I’ll still be using it and happy about my purchase. 🤩
The presets in their other apps are quite good too, like the ones of the underrated Delay 3000 (basically a Strymon Timeline).
Yeah, even as someone who doesn't really like chorus, that preset is gorgeous.
