One of the examples in the Looper Construction Kit for Kyma is an "infinite sustainer" that is intended for that exact purpose. It's sort of a "midi-looper" in terms of looping time, midway between a micro-looper (IIR and FIR filters) and a "mega-looper" like the EDP, delay lines, etc. You don't need to trigger it with a footswitch, though you can. It listens for your signal's attack and then grabs a tiny portion of the decay segment and loops that. So it hold the last note you play. Of course, it works on chords as well as single notes. It operates quite well on signals with an exponential envelope, like plucked or struck strings, struck marimba bars, triangles, gongs, etc. Smooth signals, like singing, come out really wierd. It's listed in the LCK manual, available free on-line: http://www.greenteasoftware.com/download.htm Dennis Leas ----------- dennis@mail.worldserver.com
