Hi:

Just found out by accident that using the control matrix you can use aftertouch to increase your delay.

Maybe someday in the future they will invent some kind of smart multi band compressor so the sound is still there, but if you did something boneheaded like turning up the feed back or the resonance, you wouldn't blow out your best head phones.

That's actually really cool - thanks for the note.

Actually any old limiter will do that, and I keep one across my monitor
buss for just that reason when I'm working with recordings with really
variable level. Just set the threshold high enough that no gain
reduction happens when "normal" sounds are going on, but low enough that
it kicks in when stuff goes nuts.
