The Ohmforce Ohmboys delay plugin has a great feature
called "Sustained loop".
What it does is basically loop a segment of your audio input without gradually reducing the signal level (as in regular delay).

Unfortunately, there's no way of automating the sustained loop. The button is not controlled through midi.

Does anyone knows how to work around that?
And if not, would the Ohmforce people consider adding that feature on the next update?

I know what you are talking about...There is a way to find out what midi controller this function uses...If you're using FL Studio, click on the sustain button a few times while recording this automation. There's a folder somewhere in the browser window called "current project" and the folder "automation" in it where you can see what midi data was recorded. In SX, you must enable "R" and "W" buttons in the FX track and record the automation. There's a small "+" sign on the FX track where the new automation track opens if it was recorded...

Try asking on the Ohmforce Omboyz forum at their site.

Alright, I got it.

Also depends on what host you use. Ohmboyz responds to VST automation, so in Cubase you can automate any parameter that way, including the sustain button. (and if I remember rightly, the sustain button simply turns up the feedback to 100% and the resonance up full) so you can do the same thing but tweak it slightly by independently automating feedback and resonance. As mentioned already..."R" and "W" for read and write automation. Another good trick is to switch up the feedback, increase the resonance and also automate the frequency to add to the filtering. In Cubase you can edit each of these independently.

If you don't have a VST automation capable host, the full version of Ohmboyz will respond to midi. I have the cheapo version that used to be $9.99 which doesn't respond to midi (I must get around to upgrading to the full version soon ) but I can assure you the VST automation works. And extremely useful too. I remember something about the full version having some midi feature that enables you to alter the priority of the midi parameters - only the first few show up or something, but you can move them around to show the parameters you want.

Or something.

The manual says

Quote:

SUSTAINED LOOP When you click on this magic button, you will generate a sustain loop (infinite echo). A sustain loop has the following characteristics: · Sound input is muted · Feedback of the two delay lines is set to 100% Your settings are not lost, they are just bypassed. Click again to get the original sound back.

I was close though....
