CHAPTER 21. LIVE AUDIO EFFECT REFERENCE 288
Delay 2 can switch among three different modes. When off, only Delay 1 is audible. In Fix
Mode, only Delay 1's delay time will be modulated. When Mod is activated, Delay 2 will
receive the same modulation as Delay 1.
To set both delay lines to Delay 1's delay time, turn on the link button (=). This is especially
useful if you want to change both delays with a single gesture.
The Modulation X-Y controller can impart motion to the sounds. To change the modula-
tion rate for the delay times, click and drag along the horizontal axis. To change the amount
of modulation, click and drag along the vertical axis.
You can also make changes by entering parameter values in the Amount and Rate elds be-
low the X-Y controller. The Amount value is in milliseconds, while the modulation frequency
rate is in Hertz.
Clicking the *20 switch multiplies the modulation frequency by 20 to achieve more extreme
sounds.
The Feedback control determines how much of the output signal feeds back into the input,
while the Polarity switch sets (surprise!) the polarity. Polarity changes have the most effect
with high amounts of feedback and short delay times.
The Dry/Wet control adjusts the balance between the processed and dry signals. Set it to
100 percent when using Chorus in a return track.
Enabling the Crisp option via the (PC) /
Ctrl
(Mac) context menu can improve the
sound quality, particularly at higher frequencies. This is enabled by default, except when
loading Sets that use Chorus and were made in earlier versions of Live.
