298 Live Audio Effect Reference
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 re-
ceive 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 use-
ful 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 modulation rate
for the delay times, click and drag along the horizontal axis. To change the amount of modula-
tion, click and drag along the vertical axis.
You can also make changes by entering parameter values in the Amount and Rate fields below
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 [right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](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.
