NANCARROWS DELAY

Post by graphixsounds » Thu Nov 14, 2013 4:19 am

is there anyone who could hack nancrarows delay so that ableton remembers your settings and you can save presets??? also for some reason changing the host tempo resets all the values. if anyone could do this they would be clearly be an angel from another universe thanks

working on it - it would seem that this patch - like so many others - was patched by a spider on LSD, so I'm reverse-engineering and unravelling more than "editing", unfortunately.
also for some reason changing the host tempo resets all the values.
Yes, and the error is in all those numboxes, which are a combined "display" and control, for some silly reason - I'm changing it so there's the relative notevalues with an offset instead, so that you can do the timed delays combined with strummy things.


God, this one really is a rats nest... I think I just got eye cancer. Great patch, don't get me wrong, but it's hardly open-source ;)

here you go, graphixsounds - hope this is to your liking, I did have to do some big edits to get this one to play nice.

thank you this now works!! what are all the new values? also is there no chance for the global change to distribute the delays to create strums or is that what was messing it up?? thanks for your help youre a lifesaver!

duration and delay each have a section of:

notevalues
notevalue multiplier (*)
and an added ms offset (+)

so strums are just a case of setting the multiplier to 0, and creating your spacing with the offset setting.

There is no global change anymore, because, as you said, it messed things up.

any way to get it to accept the duration that you give it from the midi input or does it have to predetermined?

That was always predetermined. It's still the same patch underneath.

I've never seen a delay like this. The only thing that comes close is a "tap delay" - which does seem similar. I wonder how this is used creatively? Someone mentioned strums, but I'm interested in other things, such as this comment about making raindrop sounds:

"I really would like to get it in 16 different notes...In order to work with it like raindrops or water rings, it could be great to link all durations of the delays to a global control pot, able to shift differently each delay time controll ( each one refering to a multiplication point on a curve we can select)."

Does anyone care to post an ALS demonstrating some creative uses for this delay?

Cheers,
