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 field, or click in the field and type in a value.
The Feedback parameter defines how much of each channels 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
[right-click](PC) / [CTRL-click](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.
Fade creates a crossfade between the old and new delay times. This sounds similar to time
stretching if the delay time is gradually changed. Fade mode is the default option.
Jump immediately jumps to the new delay time. Note that this will cause an audible click if
the delay time is changed while delays are sounding. Jump mode corresponds to the de-
fault behavior prior to Live 8. When loading Sets that were made in earlier versions, Jump
will be selected automatically.
