Hi,
I have been trying to figure out the best way to add a Pre-Delay knob for an instrument...
Imagine an 8 channel mixer with sends for overheads and room mics for each channel. Each channel is a different percussion hit. I am aiming to create a natural chorus type effect that a user can tweak with a knob.
I have tried using the Sample Start Mod Offset controlled by a knob for each mixer channel whereby I added 100ms of silence before the sample start. I can essentially pre-delay the close, overheads and room mics the same amount to maintain their relationships. The problem is, if i play a very short note, the sample may not trigger at all or the tail will be chopped off. If i turn retrigger off, some notes don't play at all if i play very fast despite cranking the voices up.
Adding a replika delay on every group (there are 96 groups) seems like a bad idea CPU wise. Am i right? Is that the simplest way to achieve my goal?
Or, is there a way to script a Wait knob that would work better?
This would be a straight forward solve if i only used close mics as i coupd just add a replika delay at the bus level. 3 mic positions and keeping their relationships complicates things when working with so many groups!
Thanks for any help.
