Hi Marco. So when you fade up the 3rd chord you also bring back the 1st chord which is still in the first loop :-( In the worst case, you end up fading between 2 different big tonal washes. I get the sort of effect you're after in the following way, except that I don't have an autoswell, so make the swells with an expression pedal. I have an expression pedal which simultaneously controls the dry volume, the input level to an echo and feedback on the echo. (actually it controls that for 2 LR panned echoes of different length, and also messes with modulation in the feedback loop, but the principle his the same). So I hit a chord and swell it with the expression pedal, ..as long as I hold the pedal down the chord sustains. To change chord, I just bring my toe up, and play another one. By varying the amount of feedback in the toe up position, along with the delay time, I can vary how quick I want the response to be. I do this with a Lexicon Vortex, but the technique should work on other devices. example:- http://www.andybutler.com/mp3/moonset.mp3 andy butler ps. Just noticed that Mark Smart already answered this, but with slighty different explanation.
