Hi Andy, You wrote: "So when you fade up the 3rd chord you also bring back the 1st chord which is still in the first loop :-( In the worst case, you end up fading between 2 different big tonal washes." I think this is only partly true, because the chord in the first loop has double the time to decay. If this still isn't enough You have to adjust the decay time on the reverb. > Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 15:57:43 +0100 > From: akbutler@tiscali.co.uk > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: Re: pedal idea for ambient sounds (not necessarily looping related) > > Hi Marco. > > So when you fade up the 3rd chord you also bring back the 1st chord which is still > in the first loop :-( > In the worst case, you end up fading between 2 different big tonal washes. > > > > > I get the sort of effect you're after in the following way, > except that I don't have an autoswell, > so make the swells with an expression pedal. > > I have an expression pedal which simultaneously controls the dry volume, the input > level to an echo and > feedback on the echo. > (actually it controls that for 2 LR panned echoes of different length, and > also messes with modulation in the feedback loop, but the principle his the > same). > > So I hit a chord and swell it with the expression pedal, > ..as long as I hold the pedal down the chord sustains. > To change chord, I just bring my toe up, and play another one. > > By varying the amount of feedback in the toe up position, along with > the delay time, I can vary how quick I want the response to be. > > I do this with a Lexicon Vortex, but the technique should work > on other devices. > > example:- > > http://www.andybutler.com/mp3/moonset.mp3 > > andy butler > ps. > Just noticed that Mark Smart already answered this, > but with slighty different explanation. > > > Marco Coblenz wrote: > > > > > > I love the sound of volume swells into high feedback delay / massive > > 100% wet reverbs.
