Post Darren Lock on the Glissentar
Not exactly the middle eastern sound that you'd expect, but this is superbly cool. And the first time the guy played the instrument.

Still trying to figure what effects he was using...

This is nice. I thought it was you and then I read your comment.
Well...I'm not sure but I think he's using a multi looper, a reverb and/or delay. I also have the impression he's using a volume pedal 'cause I don't feel the pick "attack" on the strings...except for the harmonics effects. I listened to it again and this impression is in the solo. I see him adjusting a level on his instrument and I thought it was a MIDI tone...maybe I'm wrong.

He has a great sound with his camera. Probably he has a direct video input to record directly from his mixer to the camera. Don't have this possibility at home and that's why I use soundcloud to publish my small things.

Great video...thanks...

Joseph,
ya gatta watch how ya read da tings

" recreating the first thing I ever played on the Glissentar earlier."

so don't get discouraged - this isn't a first time Charlie! I agree with Alain, sounds like delay, chorus, reverb, looper - someone very brilliant suggested to me that he might be using a VG-88 and that you are not hearing the Glissentar at all! that's why all the notes are spot on. A hidden pickup can do this. Don't waterboard me as to how I know this, but it can be done and really trip up the audience.

I wish you all the best in your new exporation,
Dave Brosky

I have 2 Godin...Multiact...a normal one, and a fretess. Both are nylon strings. Both have a multipins (13 if I remember well) to connect MIDI through an interface (module with sounds) and then you can go to other sounds modules. I never tried it with my guitars... :o

Nice, I was wondering how you got that awesome fretless guitar sound. Turns out that it was a Godin. I'm increasingly more impressed with Godin these days, honestly.

In addition to the Glissentar, I also picked up a Multiac SA which has all the Midi options. I tried it with the Roland GR-55 and the tracking was outrageously accurate. Alas the Glissentar doesn't have Midi, but it actually (from what I read anyway) has a better pick-up amplification system on it.

The one thing that I really like about the SA is that with the right settings, it has a slightly aggressive electric bite to it that is kind of fun to play around with.

Yeah, good catch! I think on the initial video it turned out pretty much the same way though….

In any case, though, instead of being discouraging, I thought that it was pretty exciting to see what people can do with crazy instruments and a looper!

I've found since having it for a week that it does really well with all sorts of harmonics and also the bottom single string can create pretty silly and cool fretless electric bass sounds if you record something and the change the octave by dropping it 12 steps (I remember reading something about how Pino Palladino did that with a fretless on some Paul Young tunes so I tried and it was pretty interesting).

Overall, it was a great purchase as a one-in-awhile instrument. If I can really get it dialed in so that it compliments the Stick.

I have to explain you a bit this tone, where it comes from. I use a zoom multieffects and then it goes to a small amp, a Roland Acustic Chorus AC-33 where I use this nice chorus. Finally it goes through my BR-600 to record it but I can feel there is a touch of compression when I record with this machine. I never found how to quit this function. Sometimes it's great, sometimes I'd like to hear something different. I guess it's good for my fretless... ;)
