Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
Yes, I am a guitarist working in the Long Delay – Loops programs, a lot with Skew Loop, Manifold Alpha etc. with long delay times and very high feedback to set up soundscapes, 2 in 2 out..
Get a long delay ‘loop’ repeating, then play melodic improv ‘over’ (in parallel with) it (not adding that improv to the loop material) and basically switch i/o of improv with loop and ‘writing to loop’, as it were.
I’ve been using a Boss DD-20 pedal this way, has up to 23 secs Delay time and feedback control. Hit fs to exit effect, feedback high, play improv, hit fs again to enter ‘dub’ mode–but it’s a delay not a sampler-type looper which is the cool thing. The music can evolve, modes etc. So yeah, I want to get the H8000 to behave like the DD-20 in digital delay mode.
A cc# to switch the Global Input level to zero or “close” the H8000 Input (?) and toggle the Input level back “on” on one midi footswitch seems to be the indicated solution. Something analogous to turning off/on an Input “block”.
Not fixed on the cc# solution, open to all suggestions.
I would be setting it up on the front panel.
Any help means a lot. Thanks!
