Common Parameters
• Beat Sync button: Synchronizes delay repeats to the project tempo, including tempo
changes.
• Output Mix (Left and Right) sliders and fields: Independently control the left and right
channel signals.
• Low Cut and High Cut sliders and fields: Frequencies below the Low Cut value and above
the High Cut value are filtered out of the source signal.
Tape Delay
Tape Delay simulates the warm sound of vintage tape echo machines, with the
convenience of easy delay time synchronization to your project tempo. The effect is
equipped with a highpass and lowpass filter in the feedback loop, simplifying the creation
of authentic dub echo effects. Tape Delay also includes an LFO for delay time modulation,
which can be used to produce pleasant or unusual chorus effects, even on long delays.
• Feedback slider: Determines the amount of delayed and filtered signal that is routed
back to the input of the Tape Delay. Set the Feedback slider to the lowest possible
value to generate a single echo. Turn Feedback all the way up to endlessly repeat the
signal. The levels of the original signal and its taps (echo repeats) tend to accumulate,
and may cause distortion. You can use the internal tape saturation circuit to ensure
that these overdriven signals continue to sound good.
• Freeze button: Captures the current delay repeats and sustains them until the Freeze
button is turned off.
• Delay field: Sets the current delay time in milliseconds (this parameter is dimmed when
you synchronize the delay time to the project tempo).
• Sync button: Synchronizes delay repeats to the project tempo (including tempo changes).
• Tempo field: Sets the current delay time in beats per minute (this parameter is dimmed
when you synchronize the delay time to the project tempo).
