hi there - i am on the hunt for something that can create a sound like this:

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/EDVsYCkD0So/

(sorry it's a weird site but it's the only place i could find the song online - you just have to wait 10 sec for the ad to run and then the song plays)

- at 0:38 there's an arpeggiated guitar thing that happens (it's in all the choruses) - it sounds like a fluttery filter that is mutating the guitar tone in such a cool way. sort of like an auto wah maybe - but better. (it's not the descending vibes thing)

any ideas?

Kinda sounds like a Bi-Phase to me.

i checked out that link and the sound clips there are really phaser pedal sounding - this thing really filters more like a synth - totally altering the top end and stuff in a different way...

maybe something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TFX_dYJlHg&feature=player_embedded

which aren't made anymore Sad

Just sounds like a band-pass filter that's being modulated, possibly sample and hold type modulation, but I imagine you could create this effect with something like a Moog Murf as well.

does the moog murf do random patterns or only the stepped techno sounding ones?

i guess what i mean is - the example i sent seems to be not a locked rhythm type effect, it feels more random or perhaps triggered to the input somehow, all the murph vids are either static filtered settings or rhythmic dancey sounds.

I don't think it has a random type pattern out of the box but I do not own one either, but with an appropriate modulator such as the Moog Control Processor you can get sample and hold control voltage into the Murf. That said you could also similarly effectively (minus the automated part!) plug in an expression pedal to the Murf and modulate various parameters yourself as you play if you don't want to lock to a grid..

You could take this another step further and say take away the Murf, and use the low pass filter or phaser pedals for example, and plug in sample and hold from the control processor.

Auto Wah being fed by a phased effect...
The wah is opening according to the frequency. Lower, closes, higher, opens.
Maybe a Q-Tron feeding an auto wah.
I say EHX pedals of some ilk...
Do you know who is playing the guitar?
