also the amount of layers to hold and discard, attack/decay; latching, holding, smart latching. Honestly, this one block would eliminate my need for any extraneous pedals at all and I could survive with just an FC-12 and the AxeFX III. At the moment I use a superego plus and ravish sitar for my drone needs, but I could definitely find a workable replacement setup with a freeze / drone block.
it's really hard to get the same effect I'm looking for through a reverb hold, delay hold, or using the synth block.
oh please fractal gods, hear our prayers: we're not worthy! we're not worthy!
seriously, I am so grateful for fractal audio and everything they stand for; you guys are an inspiration in and of yourselves!
