Try it. Make a long delay, press hold, and listen for a while. It will lose high end over time, and eventually turn into mush.I don't foresee this happening, given you have the parameters to make this pretty quickly.
I am not talking about decay, I am talking about how the signal degrades when held. Cliff talked about this a little in this thread:Ten Tap delay already exists and gives you control over repeat decay.
I can get rid of the degradation but it means that there will be no modulation when Hold is true. Modulation is the source of the degradation.
No, but it will be a lot longer. If you want infinite hold then I will have to completely disable modulation as well as a few other things when Hold is true.
Ah. I misunderstood your post.I am not talking about decay, I am talking about how the signal degrades when held. Cliff talked about this a little in this thread:

Turning off the mod helps, but it still degrades over the timeframe that I like to use.I've read the posts. Turn off the mod and adjust feedback and time to get the most out of the hold.
Or use the looper.
I want granular delay before I want a true hold delay, personally.
What you are describing is the Digital Mono delay type. There is zero modulation, zero drive, zero bit reduction, and mostly zero filtering when recalling that Type (which is really just a parameter preset).It does seem like this request is "just" for a delay model with modulation and saturation/clipping/overdrive removed, or better yet, their minimum amounts allowed to go down to zero.
Not as much work as coding actual new stuff, but it still would mean new UI, data storage and retrieval code, documentation, and probably other stuff I'm not thinking of.
Not trying to be pedantic, but he specifically said Digital MonoI am using the digital stereo delay type. I have tried everything to minimize the degradation, including the EQ curve. Cliff has to do some stuff "behind the scenes" to make it work as an infinite delay. Speaking of that, If the "simple delay" type is created, stereo please!
The Digital Mono type still has all the modulation and the other stuff that causes degradation when held...Not trying to be pedantic, but he specifically said Digital Mono
I seem to recall Cliff or Matt mentioning that somewhere before, top.
