Delay + Filter Accents = Ratchet!


video upload by O.Z. Hall

"The Ratchets are more like grace notes than the standard prominent ratchet sound.
This video covers a technique I recently stumbled across. Play a sequence through a digital delay (e.g. a Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP. Set the delay time to 2.5 x the note length ( 1/4 note in this case ). You can manually change the Wet/Dry mix on the delay to get some interesting variations on the sequence.

Add to that a free running square wave LFO which modulates the VCF cutoff frequency, making some notes brighter ('louder') than others. This makes the later delay brighter/louder.

You get an interesting texture, including the occasional "ratchet" effect."
