Freeze

I've got the EHX SuperEgo, a Freeze with extra bells & whistles, but I'd be up for a DIY version.

Alas, I bet it involves software and/or hard-to-source components...
 
Basic latching freeze seems doable in a fv-1
Setting the loop(delay) time via (foot)switch may be a little tricky.
Stacking and auto mode, not sure.
Need some logic to reset the delay via gate for auto mode.
Maybe a transistor as a switch as a switch that goes high when you play and that resets your delay?
Probably have to be separate programs. I e only fiddled with it but I bet it's doable.
 
There is an FV1 reverb patch that can do infinite sustain if you max out the reverb control. I have an expression pedal input on my FV1 build that controls that pot so you can ramp it up for the freeze effect.

It’s one of the example ones available on Spins page, I think it’s called reverb-hp-lp or something like that.

If you wanted to get closer to there actual freeze, perhaps you could have the pedal always on and passing signal and then use a foot switch to max (or close to it) the reverb value rather than using it to bypass the pedal.
 
Always figured it was a short sample delay into a very short verb for soothing but I've never spent any time with one.
If it is. You should have a short attack and decay envelope on the "loop" that overlap each other in loop. That way there's no pops or clicks.
 
It'd be great if this could be an EEPROM on the Pythagorus platform, as I need a companion to my Unison Double-Tracker. Maybe the smart-bypass could be employed so it's one footswitch ... Pie in the sky hopes and dreams.
