Chapter 2 Delay eects 71
Use Delay Designer in surround
Delay Designer is optimized for use in surround congurations. With 26 taps that can be
positioned in the surround eld, you can create interesting rhythmic and spatial eects.
Note: Delay Designer generates separate automation data for stereo pan and surround pan
operations. This means that when you use it in surround channels, it does not react to existing
stereo pan automation data, and vice versa.
Delay Designer always processes each input channel independently.
•
In a mono/stereo input and surround output conguration, Delay Designer processes the two
stereo channels independently, and the surround panner lets you place each delay around the
surround eld.
•
In a surround input and surround output conguration, Delay Designer processes each
surround channel independently and the surround panner lets you adjust the surround
balance of each tap in the surround eld.
When you use Delay Designer in any surround conguration, the Pan parameter on the Tap
parameter bar is replaced with a surround panner, which lets you determine the surround
position of each tap.
Note: In the Tap display’s Pan view, you can adjust only the angle of taps. You must use the
surround panner on the Tap Parameter bar to adjust diversity.
