Tap parameter bar controls
• Filter On/Off button: Turn the highpass and lowpass filters on or off (for the
selected tap).
• Cutoff HP/LP fields: Set the cutoff frequencies (in Hz) for the highpass and
lowpass filters.
• Slope buttons: Determine the steepness of the highpass and lowpass filter slope. Click
the 6 dB button for a gentler filter slope, or click the 12 dB button for a steeper, more
pronounced filtering effect.
Note: You cannot set the slope of the highpass and lowpass filters independently.
• Reso(nance) field: Set the amount of filter resonance for both filters.
• Tap Delay fields: Show the number and name of the selected tap in the upper section
and the delay time in the lower section.
• Pitch On/Off button: Turn pitch transposition on or off (for the selected tap).
• Transp(ose) fields: Drag in the left field to transpose pitch by semitones. The right field
fine-tunes each semitone step in cents (1/100th of a semitone).
• Flip buttons: Swap the left and right side of the stereo or surround image. Clicking
these buttons reverses the tap position from left to right, or vice versa. For example,
if a tap is set to 55% left, clicking the flip button swaps it to 55% right.
• Pan field: Set pan position for mono signals, stereo balance for stereo signals,
or surround angle when used in surround configurations.
• Pan displays a percentage between 100% (full left) and −100% (full right), which
represents the pan position or balance of the tap. A value of 0% represents the
center panorama position.
• When used in surround, a surround panner replaces the percentage representation.

Delay Designer in surround.
• Spread field: Set the width of the stereo spread for the selected tap (in stereo-to-stereo
or stereo-to-surround instances).
• Mute button: Mute (silence) or unmute the selected tap.
• Level field: Set the output level for the selected tap.
Use Logic Pro Delay Designer sync mode
Delay Designer can either synchronize to the project tempo or can run independently.
When you are in synchronized mode (sync mode), taps snap to a grid of musically relevant
positions, based on note durations. You can also set a Swing value in sync mode, which
varies the precise timing of the grid, resulting in a laid-back, less robotic feel for each
tap. When you are not in sync mode, taps don’t snap to a grid, nor can you apply the
Swing value.
When sync mode is on, a grid that matches the chosen Grid parameter value is shown in
the Identification bar. All taps are moved toward the closest delay time value on the grid.
Subsequently created or moved taps are snapped to positions on the grid.
When you save a Delay Designer setting, the sync mode status, Grid, grid position of each
tap, and Swing values are all saved. This ensures that a setting loaded into a project with
a different tempo retains the relative positions, and rhythm, of all taps—at the new tempo.
