A Natural Reverb
February 24, 2005 2:56 PM Subscribe
Tank-FX Back in the day reverbs were created using speakers set up in a chamber to make a studio recording sound like it was in a bigger space. Then springs and plates were used to record the reverberations from electricity bouncing around metal. Eventually these were modelled in electronics with varying degrees of success.
But now, as we see, the more things change the more they stay the same and you can participate in the world's first truly global reverb.

How insanely excellent.

Wow, an analogue RT deconvolution reverb. They should put the mic and speakers on robotic arms, so that there can be "parameters" to modify.

It took some trial and error, but I finally got it to work (with an MP3 of Nelson saying "haha" that I had on my hard drive). I'm not sure exactly why, but I love this. I high tech way to access low tech effects.
ON PREVIEW: I'm with neustile, I'd actually be really interested in hearing what other people put in.

I don't think this page is very well known at this point - but soon after I posted it I tried sending something through and I got somebody else's file.
It was an unruly mob yelling - well I thought it was somebody else's file it could have been the neighbors complaining.

Sounds remarkably similar to the silophone in Canada.

I agree with neustile, I want to hear what others are sending through the pipe. How about an internet radio station devoted to it? I wish they would raise the file size you can send through it. Would like to here some of my bands songs. Of course I can press a button and do this in the studio, but its much more fun to send it to a big tank in the ground in Germany!

Nope, nevermind. I guess it puts up that message when it's busy.

Roughly, "at the moment, a recording is taking place -- please try again in a minute".

Der Klang des Tanks ist einzigartig!
Those Germans; it's always about "der klang" with them, isn't it?
