It looks like I don’t understand the “Flush tail sounds on suspend” setting. I’ve got several reverb and delay plugins in an embedded rack for my guitar FX, and when suspending them (via a MIDI foot controller) the tail sounds are immediately cut off.
I’d like the tail sounds to continue after turn the plugin off (i.e. the remainder of the delay to sound). I don’t really mind how I do that - bypass / suspend / mute the input to the plugin / whatever - as long as I can bind it to a MIDI message. Here’s roughly how my FX song (I just have 1) is set up:
To do what you want you don’t use the flush tails but instead leave the plugin or rack enabled and use the MIDI input route to the plug or rack as the way you stop new notes from being sent. To do this rename the input routes to a name you like and use the bindings to set up a switch for the route. In this example I have renamed the input route to “Route” and it it sent to the rack named Route.
Oh! My bad, sorry. In this case I looked at your construction of your routing and it appears to be wired in series. That being the case you can’t really achieve the preservation of the reverb tails using that wiring method. I would look at creating parallel routing for the dry and effected signals. Like this example
You would have to rename the audio input routes so you could disable only the dry signal and leave the reverb alone and still enabled for the tails to play out.
That makes perfect sense, thank you. My FX were in parallel (the image I posted wasn’t clear) so the only thing I needed to do is figure out how to name the routes - F2 did the trick and it now works beautifully! Thank you so much
Hey there,
Just to top and tail Dave’s comprehensive solution, ‘Flush Tails’ is a function that you may well find yourself requiring at some point. Flush Tails will, for the most part (it’s not 100%) kill the residue from a plugin once it’s been bypassed. This is to avoid anything which may be still sitting in a buffer from kicking back in when the plugin is reactivated.
