Sampling Buffer for Modular-III

[ds-sound]

Hello all,

I'm Using Modular-III+Flexor, and trying to create an interesting patch, that necessitates some sort of a Sampling Buffer.

Is there a module (or a trick) that can allow me to sample an incoming real-time audio signal, and hold it inside a buffer of some sort? I must emphasise that the audio is playing on-the-fly (no wav files, etc').

This is obviously done with Delay Effects, and yet I fail to find a standalone buffer holder module...

Any assistance will be highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
ds-sound

I would try with a delay module with 0 feedback and then cross-fading the input between the stream output and the delay module's output.

Interesting, thanks.

And yet, It's impossible to hold the audio stream inside the delay module, isn't it? Once the delayed audio will 'exit', the buffer will be empty again. If I wish to hold him there, I'll have to set the feedback not to 0, but to 'full' (128?). This sets another dilemma, since then the audio-buffer will never be empty again, even when a time will come to replace him with 'fresh' input.

Now this all can be solved if there only was a way to modulate the feedback level, but all the devices I have allows me to merely control the time-factor.

Any creative solutions...? Thanks once again!

to modulate the feedback,
you could use another modular shell to send out midi cc messages.

This is a great idea, thanks!

However, it might limit my ability to fine-tune its parameters at a higher resolution than the 128 values provided by the midi controller protocol.

There must be a way to store an audio-buffer, other than 'raping' a delay module.

I'm starting to worry that I might need to buy the developers suite, for it seems as if there's no simply way to do this without getting down to the atomic level...

i've discovered, that for some odd reason wet delay output is -6 dB. adding 6 dB gain module gives you infinite feedback
