Re: EDP Momentary granulation technique...

Indeed, Jon.  Adding (where 'n' is your EDP's MIDI receive channel)...

... 9n 27 7F 8n 27 00

...to the end of the press string gives you a lot more tonal flexibility.
You can hold the granule and change the timbre of it.

My favorite sound so far is to get a granule with overdub on and then smack
the strings down onto the neck, for a really percussive sound.  Then, it
seems that if I play an open low-B string the granule almost fades entirely
away within a couple seconds.  Rubbing my palm back and forth along the
(roundwound) strings seems to have the same effect.  The loop is backed off
by 10% every time the loop (granule) repeats as long as there is input
coming into the EDP.  This makes the granularization much more "playable."
But the tonal flexability is optional, since if you don't play anything
while the EDP is in overdub mode the grain will retain the same 
shape/sound.

Piping the EDP into something that gives you pitch shifting ability and
filters to play with can really turn these sounds into something way out
there.
