Description
This effect samples from a running 15-second buffer, with a number of resampling options which can turn any source into a wall of sound, producing unexpected resonant tones over time. In its first mode it can also be used as an odd-sounding looping delay. The basic premise is inspired by Alvin Lucier.
Playing with the Wet/Dry, especially using a percussive or plucky source produces good results. To my ear, the dense resampling resembles granular synthesis or a very dirty reverb.
I've included an extremely long pre-delay option with ambient performance in mind.
***MODES***
1. Recording (no feedback)
-This mode creates disjointed echos which reach back in time as far as 15 seconds.
2. Recording plus feedback
-This is the same as mode 1, but the output is fed back into the input. Individual transients quickly dissolve into a wall of sound.
3. Freeze
-All recording stops, allowing the wave~ players to jump around a static 15 second buffer.
4. Resampling only
-This mode blocks off incoming audio while it continues to feed back. Over the course of a few minutes, resonant tones begin to emerge, turning even a percussive sample into a modulating drone with prominent overtones.
