CONTINUOUS AND TAP-TEMPO
DELAY CONTROL
Sarajewo can operate as a continuously variable
delay or in one of two synced modes in which the
delay follows a given time base. The illuminat-
ed ta p te mp o button
17
always blinks with a
period equal to the current delay time, while its
color indicates the current mode. Please note that
unlike digital delay effects which vary the length
of their memory buffer, each change of the delay
will inevitably cause pitch variation similar to the
sound of a tape-based machine.
FREE MODE
When Sarajewo operates in free mode, the
tap te mpo button blinks green and delay
time is continuously adjustable from 20 to
1560ms via with the central dial.
The external CV input adds an offset to the cur-
rent value, extending the delay time up to 4x
(with negative CV) as well as shortening down
cannot exceed the limits mentioned above. Val-
ues beyond the range will be clamped and the
bbd off-range LED will appear red.
TAP-TEMPO MODE
Pressing the tap t emp o button at least two
times switches Sarajewo to ta p-tem po mo de,
indicated by a yellow tap te mpo button back-
light. The period of your recent taps is mea-
sured and used as the current time base (unless
it is slower than the longest delay setting, i.e.
1560ms). In this mode, both the t
3
time knob
and the corresponding CV input are still active,
but their function changes so that the t
3
time
knob allows for multiplication or division of the
the factors from the scale: 1:6, 1:4, 1:3 1:2, 2:3,
1:1, 3:2, 2, 3, 4, 6. Turning the dial will switch
these factors in discrete steps. Turning the dial
left will shorten the delay time (from 1:1 ratio
to 1:6 ratio). Turning the dial right will length-
en the delay time (from 1:1 ratio to 6:1).
A long press of the ta p te mpo button brings
you back to free mode.
SYNC MODE
Patching an external clock source to the sync
input switches Sarajewo to external sync
mode, indicated by a red tap tempo button
backlight. The delay now follows the tempo
of the external clock while applying the same
the factor as in ta p-te mpo m ode . Please note
that you cannot exit this mode as long as a ca-
