Multi-Tap Delay (AudioSuite)
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:
Distortion/Sat
uration
The Distortion and Saturation sliders provide signal clipping control.
The Distortion slider determines the amount of gain applied and lets clipping occur in a smooth,
rounded manner.
The Saturation slider determines the amount of saturation added to the signal. This simulates the
effect of tube saturation with a roll-off of high frequencies.
Output Meter The Output Meter indicates the output level of the processed signal. Note that this meter
indicates the output level of the signal — not the input level. If this meter clips, the signal may
have clipped on input before it reached Lo-Fi. Monitor your send or insert signal levels closely to
prevent this from happening.
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,
you must raise the Gain slider 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 Lets you adjust the balance between the source signal and the processed signal, giving you
control over the depth of the effect.
