Longer tails on pluck sounds

Products ECHON 6

Hi there – anyone have tips for creating longer tails on plucked sounds? I’m using the noise generator with 0 attack and a short delay, no sustain or release. In the resonator I have both filters set to 3 o’clock and the feedback just shy of 12 o’clock.

This provides maybe a second of tail. Not bad but I’d like something longer and more resonant.

I tried using a single shot sine wave to modulate the feedback amount, but that results in a solid tone of feedback which doesn’t sound like a string anymore.

One suggestion for the Morphor team: it would be nice if the feedback level had a fine grain control. The user could press some button which would shift the feedback knob into fine grain control. This might allow for longer tails without going into self-oscillation. Maybe that could happen in a firmer update.

Thanks everyone!

p.s. I was just listening to the Morphor demo of the Plectrum and that’s 100% the sound I’m looking for. Is there a way to do this on the Echon 6?

I found a nice work around for this. I set the feedback to just below self-oscillation. Then, I set the mod wheel to modulate feedback but only slightly. This now gives me fine grain feedback control! Using a mod lane on my oxi one mk2, I can set the mode lane to a narrow range (giving even further precision control) and there you go! Using this approach, I was able to get tails lasting up to 20 seconds which is exactly what I wanted. It sounds amazing btw, even better than patching a delat into the feedback loop.
