Re: Sustainiac (Was: Looper's Essential Listening revisited:)
That's how the fundamental/harmonics cointrol works on the Sustainic
Stealth, the Fernandez Sustainer and the Ebow+. Adjust the delay adjusts
the
pahse relationship between the pickup and the driver, which excites
different nodes on the string(s).

I think I've posted on here about this before, but I will again anyway...I
built a device a while back that is a lot like the Sustainiac model with
the
acoustic transducer:
http://www.marksmart.net/gearhack/feedbackgen/feedbackgen.html
I was experimenting with this again a few months ago and got really fine
control of the feedback harmonics by delaying the signal going to the
transducer. I hacked up a Dano flanger pedal so it would just output
delayed
signal, and so that the delay time was controlled with a knob and didn't
oscillate via an LFO. It's probably possible to do this with the Sustainiac
by splicing a delay into the signal chain somewhere. My intention was to
have the delay time controlled with a pedal so you could adjust it while
playing. Listen to the mp3 to hear how you can jump between harmonics using
a setup like this.
Has anyone here ever tried an old Roland GR-500 guitar synth? I've never
seen or played one in person, but I've read that it had some kind of
sustainer built in...it might have even been polyphonic. I would like to
know more about this thing if anyone knows.
