Pink Floyd: Sheep

[daninfpj]

What's that effect on the vocals over the verse of Pink Floyd's Sheep ("awaayyy")?
It's like the voice merges with a synth?

[Meffy]

I'm not listening to it but memory is telling me (it sometimes lies) that it's a tape echo with feedback, so it gets progressively more distorted.

But it could be I'm thinking of the wrong part of the song. As I said, I've got a mind like a steel... erm... sieve.

[edit] Never mind, ignore the above -- I was thinking of Dogs, "dragged down by the stone stone stone stone stone." Beg pardon. I think you've got it right, crossfading the vocal with a razzy, brassy synth. Isn't there a filter sweep in there too?

[manytone]

Beg pardon.

Peeeeee uuuuuuiiii
That was a skunker

Ahhh well ...even the best of us have "memories a' fadin'"

But surely someone here knows the (virtual) answer. I think Meffy is close now I see he edited his post

BTW - welcome to KVR daninfpj!

I always thought they just sampled the voice and just gradually changed it with a synth (starting dry then dialing more and more). Also remember this was done in the 70s so tech was not what it is today.

That was quick.

Thanks for the answers, I think we all agree then.

And thanks for the welcome manytone, I've been around for some time but just now I post.

heh... yep I noticed that ....but I couldn't welcome you before

And thanks to you for reminding me to listen to Sheep.

I hear a lot of gentle reversed reverb, plus some delay, and a morphing into a synth patch (probably done by cross-fading)
