Re: Does this effect exist?

[tEd ® KiLLiAn <tedkillian@charter.net>]

That exists in the VG-9.

One of the D-Beam controlled features.

Play a note or a chord and wave your hand (or headstock) over the beam  
and the note or chord becomes a seamless drone.

Wave your hand (or headstock) over it again and it stops.

Quite effective.
