Description

A little story behind our latest Endless effect.

It started when Jonny Greenwood reached out to say some very kind things about Endless. He was curious whether it might be possible to recreate some of his old Max/MSP patches on the pedal.

Since I know Max a little, I offered to give it a try.

Jonny sent me one of his patches, and I started analysing how it worked. I then described the structure and behaviour of the patch in Endless Playground, tested the generated effect, refined it, and sent it back to Jonny for approval.

He liked the result and kindly gave us permission to publish it.

Effect decription

DualSwitch is a dual tempo-synced delay that automatically alternates between two independent delay time ratios (A and B) on the same tapped tempo.

Modes

Normal mode: behaves like a regular stereo delay for the currently active line.
PingPong mode: uses ping-pong routing feel, and the switch interval becomes the main “time” macro you control (bar-quantised).

Controls:

Div A: selects Delay A’s tempo ratio (musical subdivision/multiplier from the internal ratio list).
Div B: selects Delay B’s tempo ratio (from the same ratio list).

Feedback:
Normal mode: sets feedback amount for the delay (default 90% of the 0–0.95 range).
PingPong mode: sets the bar-quantized switch interval (0.5 to 4 bars), default 1 bar.

Both values are preserved independently, so you can “dial them in separately” and they persist when you toggle modes.

Actions

Short press: Tap tempo (sets the global tempo reference; does not trigger the A↔B crossfade).
Long press: Toggle Normal ↔ PingPong.

Default tempo is 120 BPM.
