A bare-bones patch for freezing incoming audio, with reverb, using the excellent ELSE external. Requires multiple subprocesses so will only work on Organelle M/S, sorry.

Notes:

Nothing original to contribute here, I just put together the ELSE example for a resynthesis based freeze effect run through the FAUST Greyhole reverb, as they go very nicely together. The freeze effect is mono, reverb is stereo. There are two freeze buffers, allowing for a crossfade between them. Default mode is non-latching – one press of the aux button / footswitch will freeze audio in one buffer, an additional press will unfreeze it. The next press will use the other buffer, and so on. In non-latching mode the fade time is effectively the AD envelope time for the effect. Press the low C key for latching mode – this will switch directly between buffers, at a rate set by the fade time. The buffers have to be cleared before freezing new audio – as a result, if you attempt to freeze at a faster rate than the crossfade time the new input will go unregistered. Set the fade accordingly.

Controls:
This is a one page patch.
Aux/FS: Freeze/unfreeze audio.
Low C: Latching/Non-Latching Mode.
High C to high F: Delay time for reverb.
Knob 1: Input/Frozen audio mix.
Knob 2: Fade time; envelope time for effect.
Knob 3: Reverb Mix
Knob 4: Reverb Feedback

There it is, enjoy! I find the tracking to be quite good, on par with my GA Plus pedal. Example audio below, the only instrument is guitar.

    Ah no, another nice patch that I can’t use with my OG1. Damn. And it’s almost impossible to find Arm Organelle these days. Well well.

    Sorry @nicolasbulb. I try to do a ‘light’ version when I can, but even one instance of the fft subpatch was too much to run without its own subprocess, so there was no way to simplify it this time
