3. Drag the Input Balance slider to 1.00.
4. Click the small Sync button—directly to the right of the Delay Time slider—to deselect
it, which switches off the tempo synchronization of the delay.
5. Drag the Delay Time slider to 90ms.
6. Set the Xfeed knob to 0.30.
The individual reflections are still too brash. To make the effect more discrete and
unobtrusive, adjust the frequency spectrum and amplitude of the reflections. Start with
the frequency spectrum.
7. Drag the LoCut slider to 200Hz and the HiCut slider to 1000Hz in the Delay section.
The LoCut parameter at 200Hz excludes the low frequencies in the reflections, thus
preventing a muddy sound. The comparatively drastic cut to the highs with the HiCut
parameter blurs the individual reflections, thereby creating the impression of a small
room with soft surfaces.
8. Set the Wet Level knob to 25% to reduce the total level of the effect.
9. Save this setting as Fretless Chorus+Ambience.
Create a “drowned in delay” effect in Sculpture
1. In MainStage, reload the Fretless Chorus Dry setting.
2. Switch the Delay section on.
3. Drag the Input Balance slider all the way to the right, to 1.00.
4. Set the Delay Time value to 1/4t (quarter-note triplet).
5. Set the Feedback knob to a value of 0.20.
6. Adjust the Xfeed knob to a value of 0.30.
7. Drag the LoCut slider to 200Hz and the HiCut slider to 1600Hz.
8. Now adjust the overall level of the effect—try setting the Wet Level knob to a value of
45%.
9. Vary the stereo position and rhythmical structure of the delay, by moving the small light
blue diamond around the Delay Pad.
10. Save this setting as Fretless Chorus+Wet Delay.
