FXAlg #133: 8-Tap Delay ¥ FXAlg #134: 8-Tap Delay BPM
Algorithm Reference-43
A repetitive loop delay is created by turning up the feedback parameter (Fdbk Level). Only the Loop tap is fed back
to the input of the delay, so this is the tap which controls the loop rate. Usually you will want the Loop tap
(LoopLength parameter) to be longer than the other tap lengths. To repeat a pattern on a 4/4 measure (4 beats per
measure) simply set LoopLength to 4 bts. The output taps can then be used to fill in the measure with interesting
rhythmical patterns. Setting tap levels allows some ÒbeatsÓ to receive more or less emphasis than others.

Tempo Basis for the delay lengths, as referenced to a musical tempo in bpm (beats per minute).
When this parameter is set to ÒSystemÓ, the tempo is locked to the internal sequencer
tempo or to incoming MIDI clocks. When it is set to ÒSystemÓ, sources (FUNs, LFOs,
ASRs etc.) will have no effect on the Tempo parameter.
LoopLength The delay length of the Loop tap. If the feedback is turned up, this parameter sets the
repeating delay loop length. The loop length is speciÞed as a fraction or multiple of the
tempo, in ÒbeatsÓ. The length of a delay loop in seconds can be calculated as T =
(beats/tempo) * 60.
Tapn Delay The delay lengths of the taps (n = 1...4). as tempo beat durations. The delay length is
speciÞed as a fraction or multiple of the tempo, in ÒbeatsÓ. The length of a delay in
seconds can be calculated as T = (beats/tempo) * 60. Use the output taps to create
interesting rhythmic patterns within the repeating loop.
