filmboydoug Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Vibrato? That has to be the single dumbest idea I have ever heard. Please tell me this was meant to be used with an organ or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSport Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I remember those...not on a K'Horn but a buddy who played guitar had one...starts spinning and cool sounds came out of his guitar...ahhhhh, the '70s...[] Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg5.5 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Its used for the tremolo on an organ. That horn is not meant for music reproduction, but rather music "production". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense now, since that thing predates the LaScala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense now, since that thing predates the LaScala. Think of it as an alternative to a Leslie. Instead of speaker horns twirling on the HF drivers axis, the flap rotates and gives a similar effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSport Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I needed to open my eyes...the one my friend had was a leslie...cool thing to watch...the whole horn(s) spun on their center axis...sounded great too. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmboydoug Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Someone should do up a mod to add one of these to Al's Trachorns. We could call it... Wait for it... The Klapper Flapper. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I always thought that one of the neatest uses of the Leslie on a guitar was Steven Still's use on Marrakesh Express, written by Graham Nash. Or I am remembering it from an altered state. [] Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efzauner Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 There is lots of info on the web. Just google tremolo vibrato, amplitude frequency modulation leslie etc. I gotta get work done, but losely speaking Tremolo is amplitude modulation and Vibrato is frequency modulation. The modulating vane probably produced mainly AM/tremolo. The Leslie speaker had a rotaing HF horn (and also a bass) that not only produced AM modulation as the source moved near and far, but had more FM/Vibrato caused by the dopler effect of moving source. My understanding that these crude mechanical systems did not produce pure AM or FM. The rotating vanes also probably produced a bit of FM due to a small dopler effect.
