rhythmically gated delay
I'd like to see a plugin that chops up your delay at different rates (just a delay whose wet output is put through a rhythmic gate tied to the tempo).
You could do things like have the delay only in effect on beats 2 and 4, or in various patterns. Maybe have a 16th note grid, where you click on the 16th notes where you want your delay to be operational (like the old Roland products and used in more recent products). If two "notes" in a row are set on, then the delay continues. Or have a setting of 0 to 100% of how long the delay works for each pulse.
Open questions:
* What is the base delay that gets gated?
* Does the gated output route back into the beginning of the delay for the repeat, or does the entire signal?
I think this could be cool for a reverb or any other sound effect as well. What's different about this fantasy plugin from any I've seen before is that (1) it's integrated into one easy-to-use piece, and (2) the option of whether the pre-gated or post-gated audio loops back into the beginning of the input.
