Ivodne, thanx for the hints. Both the timeline as well as the el capstan seem to lack a dedicated hold button, though. What makes the DDG-1 so special is, that it's originally a DJ unit. RCA jacks, table unit and all. It's hold freezes the max 1024 sec delay and allows it to be pitched just like a tape, obviously using a simple variable pitch rate control (0.5x - 2x). This gives me a range of two octaves, which i can use to play melodies just with the dial on the speed of the delay buffer. Awesome. Using the hold switch on/off in a fast manner inserts bits of original audio into the delay buffer aswell, which i use to create unforseeable surprises during improvisation. I seem to function better as a musician, when surprised of what i hear. By now i didn't find another unit like this. Here's what i just wrote to Strymon about wnated features in one unit - behaves like a tape upon delay time change (so basically pitching/speeding accordingly) - has delay time modulation with depth and freq/time (0.05 - 20 Hz), capable of extreme settings - in tape mode - has a hold button / this takes original signal to bypass delay circuit, while delay buffer loops indefinately. Buffer behaves again like tape, when modulated or delay time is changed manually. - delay is digital Anybody else on this?
