This could be done with stepper motors on a sliding track, but you cannot increase the length of the metal in the spring, only how much which it is stretched. If you could adjust the transducers / contacts over time and "dampen" the unused portion of the spring, perhaps you could use a motorized "capo" and contact mic.</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;">Plate Reverb -- same problem, but replace the spring(s) with a gigantic steel plate</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;">Cooper Time Cube -- See this: <a href="https://www.uaudio.com/blog/cooper-time-cube-power/" target="_blank" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: auto; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent; color: rgb(76, 140, 246); text-decoration: none; background: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation;">https://www.uaudio.com/blog/cooper-time-cube-power/</a></li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;">ADT/Flanging -- <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_double_tracking" target="_blank" id="isPasted" rel="noopener noreferrer" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: auto; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent; color: rgb(76, 140, 246); text-decoration: none; background: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_double_tracking</a> <br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;">real, through-zero-flanging, not simulated flanging. Impossible without 2 tape decks, turntables, or CDJs playing the exact same source material at precisely the same time. The Marshall Time Modulator is 90% there, but there is a difference between The Beatles "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" (tape) or Siouxsie & the Banshees "Dear Prudence" (tape, possibly with a Boss Jet Phaser) at 1:28 vs. Bauhaus "Terror Couple Kill Colonel" (Marshall Time Modulator)</li></ol><div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;"></div><div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;">Todd</div><div fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;" fr-original-class="fr-inner gmail_quote flockmail-quote flockmail-quote-id-<CACZGMx+rPGPCu+opUB3snWWi44xAR1jVTHwMGxwwKnodhstuOQ@mail.gmail.com>"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box; user-select: inherit; scrollbar-color: var(--scrollbar-active-color) transparent;"></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
