44 Chapter 2 Delay
The Master Section
The Master section incorporates parameters for two global functions: delay feedback
and dry/wet mix.
Using Feedback
In simple delays, the only way for the delay to repeat is to use feedback. As Delay
Designer offers 26 taps, you can use these to create repeats, rather than requiring
discreet feedback controls for each tap.
Delay Designer’s global feedback parameter allows you to send the output of one tap
back through the effect input, to create a self-sustaining rhythm or pattern.
This tap is called the feedback tap.
To toggle feedback on or off:
m Click the Feedback button.
When the Feedback button is turned on, it is lit. The orange track around the Feedback
Level knob indicates the current feedback level.
Note: If feedback is turned on and you begin creating taps using the Tap pads,
feedback is automatically switched off. When you stop creating taps with the Tap pads
by clicking the Last Tap button, feedback will automatically be turned back on.
To determine the feedback tap:
m Click the Feedback Tap field, and choose the desired tap from the pop-up menu.
You can vary the output level of the feedback tap back into Delay Designer’s input
between 0% (no feedback) or 100% (the feedback tap is fed back at full volume).
To set the feedback level of the feedback tap, do one of the following:
m Click-drag the Feedback Level knob.
m Click-drag on the Feedback Level field.
