Re: The Big(ish) Idea

[Adrian Bartholomew <adrian@bartholomusic.com>]

good idea but u just gave me another one.
my god this thing is becoming more and more involved.
but the following idea shouldnt be too hard for me to add on:

i could have the stutter button rapidly stutter ON ITS OWN once held down. so i could STILL manually stutter but now ill be stuttering a stutter!!
of course i could have a slide switch turn this effect on or off. simple 555 chip operation.
