Hi!

Im currently working with a project developing tactile feedback for stimulation of disabled children.

Im getting quite far in using a rough surface, a contact microphone and buttshaker. My signal path is something like mic->bandpass->filering->amplitude control of an oscillator->lowpass->speaker

i wish to get the sound a bit more interesting, so i would like to add an echoeffect something like:
-Starts when there has been no sound (amplitude=0 after filtering) for 0,8 seconds.
-Playbacks the last 1,6 seconds of sound (then there will be 0,8 seconds of noise and 0,8 seconds of silence) with 60% amplitude
-Repeat the echo with decreasing amplitude (i.e 45, 30 and 0%)

I believe i should use delay lines but i have a hard time controlling them the way i want.

Some help would be really appreciated by me and the children
