CHAPTER 21. LIVE AUDIO EFFECT REFERENCE 331
21.27 Simple Delay
The Simple Delay Effect.
The Simple Delay provides two independent delay lines, one for each channel (left and
right).
To refer delay time to the song tempo, activate the Sync switch, which allows using the
Delay Time beat division chooser. The numbered switches represent time delay in 16th
notes. For example, selecting 4 delays the signal by four 16th notes, which equals one
beat (a quarter note) of delay.
If the Sync switch is off, the delay time reverts to milliseconds. In this case, to edit the delay
time, click and drag up or down in the Delay Time eld, or click in the eld and type in a
value.
The Feedback parameter denes how much of each channel's output signal feeds back into
the delay lines' inputs. Internally, they are two independent feedback loops, so a signal on
the left channel does not feed back into the right channel and vice versa.
The Dry/Wet control adjusts the balance between the processed and dry signals. Set it to
100 percent when using Simple Delay in a return track.
Changing the delay time while Simple Delay is processing audio can cause abrupt changes
in the sound of the delayed signal. You can choose between three delay transition modes
via the (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context menu of the device's title bar:
 Repitch causes a pitch variation when changing the delay time, similar to the behavior
of old hardware delay units.
