Multi-Tap Delay AudioSuite Plug-In
The Multi-Tap Delay plug-in adds up to four independently controlled delays (or “taps”) to
the original audio signal. By allowing you to control the delay time and number of
repetitions of each tap individually, the Multi-Tap Delay plug-in provides greater flexibility
than standard single-delay devices.
The Multi-Tap Delay plug-in is ideal for adding spatialization or complex rhythmic echo
effects to virtually any instrument or sound.
The following table lists the Multi-Tap Delay plug-in parameters:
Duration Click one or more of the buttons to specify a desired delay from a musical perspective. You
can click one of the note value buttons (whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note,
sixteenth note). If necessary, click the Triplet modifier or Dot modifier button to dot the
selected note value or make it a triplet.
Groove Provides fine adjustment of the delay in percentages of a 1:4 subdivision of the beat. You
can use this parameter to add “swing” by slightly offsetting the delay from the precise beat
of the track.
Parameter Description
Parameter Description
Gain Controls the input level of each of the four delay lines for individual delay taps. Adjust Gain to
prevent clipping or increase the level of the processed signal.
Feedback Controls the amount of feedback applied from the output of the delay into its input. It also
controls the number of repetitions of the delayed signal. For the feedback parameter to
function, the Gain slider must be raised above its lowest setting.
Pan Controls the apparent location of each tap in the stereo field.
Delay Sets the delay time between the original signal and the delayed signal. The higher the setting,
the longer the delay. This parameter is adjustable from 0 to 1500 milliseconds (1.5 seconds).
Mix Allows you to adjust the balance between the source signal and the processed signal, giving
you control over the depth of the effect.
Sum Inputs
button
When you use the Multi-Tap Delay plug-in in Stereo mode, a Sum Inputs button appears next
to the Mix sliders. Clicking the Sum Inputs button sums the source input signals (regardless of
whether the input is mono or stereo) before processing them.The source signal then appears in
the center of the stereo field, and the processed signal is output in stereo.
