THE PRIMALTAP CONTROL PANEL - TWEAK MENU
Criss-Cross: In Criss-Cross Mode, the feedback paths are crossed, so
that the output of channel A feeds back to the input of channel B, and
vice versa. This can be used to create interesting rhythmic patterns
when the A and B channels are set to different delay times.
Ping-Pong: Ping-Pong Mode is similar to Criss-Cross (crossed feedback
paths), except that the input signal only feeds channel A, resulting in a
“bouncing” effect where the audio will first appear on channel A, then
channel B, then channel A, and on and on.
ALGORITHM (continued)
PrimalTap — Version 5
Two sliders (one for each delay line) allow for the depth control to be
adjusted individually for delay lines A and B. These sliders determine
the amount of LFO modulation applied to the signal. In other words, the
Depth control is essentially determining the intensity of the modulation.
Each Depth tweak slider also features a phase invert switch.
DEPTH
The Output Pan controls are very similar to the Depth controls in that
they are separate sliders for delay lines A and B with a phase in/out
control for each. These controls allow for the panning of each delay line
to be adjusted independent of one another.
OUTPUT PAN
Rolloff allows for the PrimalTap’s Low and High Cut filters to apply
either to the entire output signal, or instead, only to the Feeback signal.
Using the Rolloff for just the Feedback signal can very very useful in
taming long delays or frozen delays in keeping them from overtaking
the source material.
ROLLOFF
This option gives you the ability to alter the LFO shape in PrimalTap.
There are four available classic LFO waveshape options to choose from:
Triangle (which was the only option for the original hardware), Square,
Sine, and Ramp.
