What about using a delay line, or perhaps even several of them? The delay time
can be modulated if you like, and you could add either inverting or
non-inverting regeneration as well.


One last comment, I believe someone suggested trying to make an elaborate
all-purpose percussion synth. If something like this gets off the ground, might
it have the capability to synthesize things such as cymbals, gongs,  steel
drums, or maybe even a vibraslap? 

I am just wondering if anyone is even thinking of these instruments, within the
context of a universal percussion-synth at the moment. If an elaborate
instrument is attempted, it would be a shame to think primarily in terms of
toms and snares.
