Digital Gurgle..?

[kezspez]

Right,

this is gonna be tricky because i don't really have any examples to hand as i am horribly skyving off in work. I really want to know how people get that sort of digital gurgling sound (sometimes used on guitars) where it sounds like the matrix or some shit.

I'm gonna try and scour some samples but its one of those things i hear in passing and think :| shit i want that!

I am sure i heard it on a TDWP track? *EDIT* Hey John, What's your name again? 1:20

I can't suss this out and it's driving me up the wall for about a week now.

Help a brother out!

The time stretch effect? You said Matrix and thats what comes to mind.

There are two things that could be what you mean (I can't be arsed to search for the thing you posted).

One is a digital quantising-type thing, where you use an effect to reduce the bit depth of a track, which basically turns it into unrecognisable junk - that's what I'd call the "Matrix" sound, with the whole Neo screaming and the camera going down his throat thing. I don't know of a pedal that can achieve the same thing, you need to find a VST to do it.

The other type is like Deftones use in the middle of Digital Bath - starts around 2:30:

That's a phaser effect sometimes called "stepping", where it uses a random square wave over the input signal to make the phased sound (you can do the same with a synth but I don't know how, it's called something like "hold filter") - I used to have a DigiTech HyperPhase which recreated that sound perfectly, but I've not found a VST that recreates it yet.
