THE PRIMALTAP CONTROL PANEL
PrimalTap — Version 5
PrimalTap features variable Low and High Cut controls (also known as
highpass/lowpass filters) for eliminating unneeded frequencies. The Low
Cut can be set anywhere between 0.1Hz and 1000Hz. The High Cut has a
selectable range anywhere from 15kHz all the way down to 800Hz.
LOW CUT / HIGH CUT
The Output control section is very similar to the Feedback section in
that you are given three sliders; output level controls for delay lines A/B
(red/yellow) as well as a dry/wet mix slider (green).
OUTPUT CONTROL SECTION
Tempo Sync switches PrimalTap into MIDI sync mode. Both delays lines
are switched to MIDI control. Tempo Sync allows for PrimalTap to lock in
with your project’s tempo, or for tempo information to be controlled via
MIDI.
TEMPO SYNC
PrimalTaps Feedback section is comprised of two sliders with which you
can control the amount of recirculation (or delay feedback) being routed
back to PrimalTaps input. Input drive is controlled with the first green
slider labeled “In”, and the two adjacent sliders control the feedback
amount for the A and B delay lines individually. The color of the sliders
correspond to the matching Delay Select knobs; red for red (A) and
yellow for yellow (B).
Sliding the Feedback faders up increases the recirculation amount
and results in added sustain, saturation, and resonance. Please note
that extreme resonance settings will raise the output level emanating
from PrimalTap. Caution is advised when experimenting with elevated
Feedback settings at high volumes. Advanced feedback routing is
possible using the options in PrimalTaps Tweak Menu (see page 9).
