Analog delay parameter
Analog delay has the following parameters:
Delay type
Delay type (l + r): Left and right delay times can be controlled separately (see below).
You can choose a note value for the control pots to snap to. Even and syncopated
note values from 1/2 to 1/32 are available. Note that the delay times are always in
relation to the project’s current tempo.
Link button (lock symbol): Press this button to control the “delay type” pots for
both channels simultaneously.
Mix: Adjusts the ration between the original signal and the echo.
Modulation
Speed: The tape warble speed. Low values result in very light fluctuations, high values
result in drastic warbling.
Depth: The warble intensity. When this control is turned all the way to the left, there
is no pitch modulation. For a subtle "analog" feel, we recommend a setting between
the 9 and 11 o’clock position.
Filter
"Low"
This control progressively reduces the bass frequency as it is turned
to the right, making the signal sound "thinner".
"High"
Once turned all the way to the right, the control only attenuates the
treble very lightly; turned completely to the left, the delay repetitions
become progressively less treble.
Feedback
Width: This controls the stereo width of the delay repetitions. When you turn
“Width” to the right, an additional effect is produced: the panning of the delays
increases. This is commonly referred to as a "ping-pong" delay.
Drive: When this control is turned all the way to the left, the delayed signal is
repeated only once. Turned all the way to the right, the feedback is seemingly endless
and the repetitions continue for a long time.
The actual strength of the effect is dependent on the material, since the feedback loop
(as explained earlier) is addressed via compression and uses a "tape saturation"
effect. If you send a "loud" signal to the delay, then the feedback will sound longer
than at a lower level as compression "brings it up" to a certain level. If you are used to
"purely digital" delays, then this might take some getting used to, but it will probably
sound "livelier".
