Phone Microwave

An accidental time machine. Phone Microwave uses a pair of reverbs with extremely long tails as a sort of looper substitute.

This is my first “real” patch, so it’s not expert-level, but it works and does a thing that is useful to me.

Takes audio from the L input; outputs as stereo.

Controls:
L stompswitch — (latching) cycles the audio input between the two reverb modules (they are on the second and third rows of the front page). The two reverbs have slightly different decays and stereo outputs.
M stompswitch — (momentary) drops the first reverb trail by two octaves.
R stompswitch — (momentary) runs the second trail’s output through a random pitch filter that’s attached to a granular freeze buffer. (this is sort of a work in progress, given I barely know what I’m doing.)

A purple pushbutton on the bottom row (button 7) is connected to the buffer freeze control of the granular module (which is on page 2), so you can “reload” the contents of the buffer.

The two “effects” should add non-destructive low rumbles and high blips to the trails. All of this takes the patch to just over 100% CPU — there are surely more efficient ways to get this done, but this works, and it’s satisfying for a first go.

I may refine it with further use. Feel free to offer suggestions on what else this patch could do, or how it could do these same things better!
