Delay Designer Tap parameter bar
The Tap parameter bar provides access to all parameters of the selected tap. It also shows several
parameters that are not available in the Tap display, such as Transpose and Flip.
Editing the parameters of a single, selected tap is fast and precise because all parameters are
visible, with no need to switch display views or estimate values with vertical lines. If you choose
multiple taps in the Tap display, the values of all selected taps are changed relative to each other.
Option-click a parameter value to reset it to the default setting. If multiple taps are selected,
Option-clicking a parameter of any tap resets all selected taps to the default value for
that parameter.
Tap parameter bar controls
•
Filter On/O button: Turns the highpass and lowpass lters on or o (for the selected tap).
•
HP-Cuto-LP elds: Drag to set the cuto frequencies (in Hz) for the highpass and
lowpass lters.
•
Slope buttons: Determine the steepness of the highpass and lowpass lter slope. Click the
6 dB button for a gentler lter slope, or click the 12 dB button for a steeper, more pronounced
ltering eect.
Note: You cannot set the slope of the highpass and lowpass lters independently.
•
Reso(nance) eld: Drag to set the amount of lter resonance for both lters.
•
Tap Delay elds: Show the number and name of the selected tap in the upper section and the
delay time in the lower section.
•
Pitch On/O button: Click to turn pitch transposition on or o (for the selected tap).
•
Transp(ose) elds: The left eld transposes pitch in semitones. The right eld ne-tunes each
semitone step in cents (1/100th of a semitone).
•
Flip buttons: Swap the left and right side of the stereo or surround image. Clicking these
buttons reverses the tap position from left to right, or vice versa. For example, if a tap is set to
55% left, clicking the ip button swaps it to 55% right.
•
Pan eld: Drag to set pan position for mono signals, stereo balance for stereo signals, and
surround angle when used in surround congurations.
•
Pan displays a percentage between 100% (full left) and −100% (full right), which
represents the pan position or balance of the tap. A value of 0% represents the center
panorama position.
•
When used in surround, a surround panner replaces the percentage representation. See Use
Delay Designer in surround on page 71.
•
Spread eld: Drag to set the width of the stereo spread for the selected tap (in stereo-to-stereo
or stereo-to-surround instances).
•
Mute button: Click to mute (silence) or unmute the selected tap.
•
Level eld: Drag to set the output level for the selected tap.
