Hi all. I'm trying to make a delay unit with feedback to go in a synth I'm working on. The synth itself is fairly straightforward, a couple of oscs, filter & amp env. When it comes to the dleay section I've got the feedback control working so I can dictate how much of the signal is fed back on itself. The problem is that when you let go of the key the delayed sound does seem to work properly. What I am expecting to happen is that the signal from the synth which is being shaped by the VCA (that is with a fade from the release section) is passed to the delay section where it is delayed by a set time and then replayed exactly the same as the original signal. What actually happens is that the sound is delayed and then replayed and then after a short time the delayed signal is just cut off. I can't seem to vary the tome before the cut-off so I'm not sure what is setting this time limit. Also, if I let go of the key before the delayed signal is produced then it doen't happen at all.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
