… what algorithms/techniques you would suggest for looping, crossfading drones on the h90…
What I had in mind were the reverb, delay, and ‘special’ algorithms featuring a Freeze or Infinite target value. There are a lot of them, but I’d start with a reverb algo like Blackhole (Inv Gravity), DynaVerb, Wormhole, or even Reverse Reverb – something with an initial ‘bloom’. The base Program should have a healthy amount of decay, so it fades out smoothly after disengaging Freeze / INF.
The same application of Feedback or Repeat in the delays, similar to the Looper Decay. My favorite technique of late is using the ‘real’ Freeze in one of the newest Pitch or Synth algorithms. Often with two instances; each one featuring a separate Freeze parameter exposed.
I find one main advantage to be further manipulation & shifts in pitch of the Freeze signal. With AUX – HotSwitches and EXP pedal mappings, while still frozen. Clever programming to initiate some ‘fade-in’, and the same kind of techniques as above for smoothing the ‘fade-outs’.
