Hi

Probably a simple one this, but here goes...

I'm trying to program a "wind" / "seashore" FX type patch on my 
AN1X.  Not too difficult you might think, and I've had a fair bit of 
success experimenting with noise, VCA and VCF settings in getting 
the sound I want.  However, is there a way to keep the sound 
sustained while I play other parts on another synth (both hands 
needed!)?  It's seems it's not enough to max out the VCA release, as 
the sound fades too soon.  I guess what I need is some sort 
of "Hold" setting.  I see there's a "Hold" feature available while 
using the Arpeggiator.  Can I use that for this type of 
application?  Or is there another way?  Think the opening of 
Elton's "Funeral for a Friend" as being the sort of thing I'm trying 
to achieve...

Any advice gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

What About Running The Arpegiattor with 0 key follow  on Hold With The 
Lowest Tempo? Or change the Re-trigger Parameter and put the patch on 
single  Mode Probably Work Too.
How "soon" Is The Release Of The VCA on 127? That should Give You some 
Time!
