Infinite hold (Freeze) in Fractal?

[Alex Kolund]

Is there a way to get infinite hold (think EHX Freeze) on a Fractal device? I know it's a request on the master wish list but has anyone come up with anything close to it? (For context - the effect is freezing a section of audio - note, chord, anything - infinitely.) Thanks!

The Reverb block can do it, IIRC, but not the delay. Cliff said it requires too much CPU for the delay to hold without degrading on the FM3. The FM9 and FX3 can do it.

There is a hold function in the reverb block. Attach the hold function to a control switch, strum a chord and switch the hold on.

I'll revisit this.... also going to pick up a TC Electronic Infinite Sample Sustainer pedal.... looks like it takes up less space than the freeze pedal and has some other nifty features. My favorite hold pedal was the Gamechanger plus pedal but unfortunately it just takes up too much space on my board.

There is a stack/hold function in both reverb and delay blocks

To get the EH Freeze effect from a Reverb block you'll need to assign a footswitch to toggle both Stack/Hold and Bypass as well as set the Bypass Mode to Mute FX Out. I've highlighted the areas in Axe Edit you need to adjust. Have fun!

Bumping this one…can someone help me understand how to assign the “Hold” function from Reverb1/2 to a footswitch? Seem to be missing that link.

Nevermind, youtube to the rescue..

Thanks for posting the link in case anyone else comes here asking the same thing

This might be of interest as well.

The stack / hold function seems to only freeze the delay or reverb effect and not the original signal.
Parameters such as rise, tail, sustain and mix are missing (which are found on the plus pedal by gamechanger audio).
This would be an incredible addition to the unit, so I hope Fractal does manifest this!
