perhaps someone could show me another way to do what im doing

send A is a delay
send A's pre/post button is set to pre
send A output is set to master

so, track is playing, volume out to master
i bring up volume of send A, layering original sound with the delay
then i drop the original track out, leaving the delay to playout alone
then i quickly hit the pre/post button, to switch it to post, causing send A to no longer receive the signal, and so the delay ends, playing out on its own, like this hollow echo into nothing.

it sounds great, but i have to use the mouse to toggle the pre/post button as it doesnt appear to be midi assignable


is there another way to acheive this effect ? or is there a way to assign those two pre/post buttons?

im using a bcf, if that matters.

thanks

I REALLY wish those buttons were MIDI assignable too. Seems like a strange oversight to me.

Stick a post in the Feature Request section. I imagine this would be a very simple thing for them to sort.

hey splashmas,
as far as I understand your idea, you could also just quickly turn the send knop of your track to zero, no? so the return channel a would also no longer recieve the signal, but would still play out.
tell me if Im missing something.
cheers

doh !

yeah, im gonna try that, youre right, that should do it, awesome ! thanks

sometimes i miss the obvious hehe
