Subjectthe use of Feedback ?
Hi SeeSounders,

I'm doing another ambient piece in Csound and I need to know some things :

Again, its kind a hard to describe what I want...I'll try :

There are pads running in the background and I want suddenly a harmonic
tone coming up with a feedback that takes
over from the tone....You all know that feedback is mostly unwanted, but I
want that kind of feedback that sounds like
a distinct overtone....Then at a certain moment the feedback "splits" in a
wider stereofield with reverb on it....

I have heard this effect in a track called "Flotsam suspended in Solar
wind", by Voice of Eye.

My questions are :

- How can I create an "overtone" like feedback from a goven sound (either a
synthesized sound or a looping sample)
- How can I do this in such a way that I can handle the feedback as if it
was a seperate sound !!   (this is a difficult one I think)


I'm sorry for being not so clear, but this is what happens when someone is
obsessed by sound experimentation while not
having professional education on the field.

If anyone can feel what I try to say here, feel free !



David.
