Vernon Barnes Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 Does anyone know what the "electronic slinky" played by Patrick Moraz on Relayer and some of his solo albums was? The best description I have found was it was something he had developed and he would not divulge any details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted July 15, 2024 Author Share Posted July 15, 2024 Oops. I meant to post this in the coffee house. But here someone here will probably post a link to a VST version on sale. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 Maybe I'm just making this up, but I've always thought it was a voltage-control input device, probably hooked into a Minimoog. Like the handheld ribbon controller Keith Emerson used to use in the early days of ELP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sort of resonator like a spring reverb? A controller seems more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted July 15, 2024 Share Posted July 15, 2024 "large spring with a pickup" sounds plausible. After all, every band had one and it long ago occurred to many that it could make cool thunder-like sounds. But I've no idea how you'd get anything melodic out of one. Unless it was just a cute name he'd given to a repurposed Hammond spring reverb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
