Hi
@Ross Davies,
I’ve been testing Aether’s Hold function in Genome as a sustain/drone tool for practice and ambient playing, similar to Helix Native’s Poly Sustain.
The issue I have with Keep Wet Feed is that it keeps feeding new input into the held reverb tail, so after a while everything turns into mush. That makes it hard to use as a stable drone to play over.
Cut Wet Feed gets much closer to the desired behavior because it stops new input from feeding the held tail. The problem is that if Hold is already active with Cut Wet Feed enabled, new notes won’t enter at all unless there was already sound fed before engaging Hold. This makes it difficult to use as a live/study tool.
Also, Hold Behavior does not seem to be automatable. Would it be possible to make Hold Behavior automatable or MIDI controllable in a future update? Even better, would it be possible to add a dedicated freeze/drone Hold mode where you capture a note or chord once and then automatically stop further input from feeding into it, similar to Helix Native Poly Sustain?
Thanks!

Update: I got close to what I wanted by setting both the mix and hold switch parameters to an expression pedal and setting the mix range between 0 and 50%.
