Hold Function RE

[ChulaCoola]

Is there an RE that is dedicated to or has a hold function as one of it's main functions that can hold audio signals for RE's that don't have that function. So the Audio/note sustains and I don't have to hold down a keyboard key while trying to do other things. I know there are at least a few RE's that have HOLD as a function. I don't want to have to dig out one just for that though. I did it before.

Or does anybody know if the Panorama P4 has that function?

Even better, there's a note latch player

I trialed Auto Latch, might be better named Not Latch. Yeah it holds notes, but not all of them. It seems I have to hold it for long enough, but not too long, or something. When it holds a note, and I hit a different key, it'll play the new note, but as soon as I let go, it goes back to the previous note, I hit it again, it'll usually latch onto it. Not always though. I have to use Poly latch, use 2 (or more) steps. It isn't quite made to do what I want it to do. I am sure it is perfect at what it is designed for, as a player.

I just need a device that allows me to plug in more than one device, holds a note I play, can send several inputs to one output as I switch them, one at a time, and I can switch to a different input.
It can even have multiple outputs, but at least one output.

I have PongaSoft AB12 audio switch, but it doesn't hold notes and only switches between banks of inputs. So if I only need two instruments, I am fine.

Yes I'll use Auto Latch for now. But it isn't the best. It is kind of like using a car as a boat, you have to do all kinds of stuff to it to make it float.

After typing all this, I tried using the Reason Mixer 14:2 or for economy, the Line Mixer 6:2, and a MIDI track for the devices. Just mute all the devices in the mixer, then hit Solo for the one I want to listen to. It is a pretty good fake for what I want.

If what I am looking for doesn't exist, does anybody want to make one?

This might help, but tbh I'm not sure what it is that you want exactly; still this in combo with something else may work.

You can use the RPG-8's hold function, just disable the arpeggiator and enable Hold.

Rama synth also has this hold function, but only in itself (it's a synth, not a player)

Thanks, the RPG8 is a good idea also. I had forgotten that one. I haven't used it in a while. It is a smaller RE. It might be easier to remember too.

That Note Latch works pretty well. That is closer to what I am looking for.

Thanks Enlightenspeed RE Developer!
