Preamble: I have moderate experience with Synthmaker, medium understanding of recording and effects, and medium understanding of the math.
Okay, so here was my idea for a cool effect.
Whenever you play a string on your guitar, it outputs the sound the string makes. But after say 0.1 of a second, it takes a 0.01ms sample of the sound, and plays that either continuously, or with a decay filter, until you play another note.
The idea is that it would introduce weird artifacts of looping. Perhaps another addition would be to allow you to reverse the short sample every second time, so it sounded less incongruous?
And each of these factors would be modifiable. For instance, the gate to trigger a new note, the delay time, the sample length, the decay envelope could be affected by pots on the front screen.
My problem is, I don't really know how to implement any of the individual components of this, like the sample looping, or the gate to trigger it, or the envelope. If someone would help me either do individual bits or give advice or put multiple bits together, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks,
Xan
