If *I* remember i've done that ramp trick on something similar before but it has been AGES. Def have the circuit snippet for the ramp in my files.

Pretty cool thing to add to a Delay time circuit. 2 Knobs, set 2 speeds and ramp between them with all the wurley madness in between.

Kinda related question, is their a DAW plug-in that replicates the sound of when you engage a track on a tape machine but there is already sound happening so there's that brief high pitched bleet as the tape gets to speed? I'm sure there is but I haven't actually looked for it, but it's one thing I kinda miss about tape machines (even a four-track).

I had an old (large enclosure) Holy Grail that I loved. After it was stolen I got the more available Nano version and found that with the dial set below noon it was a little too subtle/not palpable on louder parts. At or above noon it seemed to swallow the attack of the guitar too much. I couldn't get enough of a sharp stab of guitar followed by a clear halo iykwim.

Now I have a Red Panda Context. It's more versatile but I have the 1.0 version and the rotary dial is way to easy to bump, it's actually gotten looser over the years. I also think the 80s inspired digital grain of it is cool but not exactly my style.

I want something more analog sounding that can run a good gamut from spank to cloud with maybe some subtle saturation bloom blended in depending on how it’s being hit.

I got a used Neo Rotary thing with a return policy, so we’ll see!
