Analog delay
This delay offers creative playing along with common delay effects. "Analog" in this case means, for
instance, that you can change the delay times while playing without the risk of typical scratching artifacts
developing. Instead, the times are softly faded out, similar to the old tape echo machines that used the
tape speed to change the delay and where the system also had a certain sluggishness.
Analog delay emulates vintage tape echo units which determined the delay time by the tape speed, and
speed changes were slow and affected the pitch (feedback). The feedback has a two-band filter that can
be used to create dark, high, or mid repetitions depending on the settings.
You can use these characteristics to your advantage by creating, for example, "out-there"
dub/reggae-style delays which become less defined with each repetition and are slightly warbled. Here
"analog" means that the delay cannot be digitally overdriven. Even in a "looped" repetition the signal
cannot be distorted indefinitely, but compressed by an increasingly slight degree and distorted similar to a
tape.
Analog delay parameter
Analog delay has the following parameters:
Delay type
Delay type (l + r)
: Left and right delay times can be controlled separately (see below). You can choose a note value for the
control pots to snap to. Even and syncopated note values from 1/2 to 1/32 are available. Note that the
delay times are always in relation to the project's current tempo.
Link button (lock symbol)
: Press this button to control the "delay type" pots for both
channels simultaneously.
Mix:
Adjusts the ration between the original signal and the echo.
Modulation
Speed
: The tape warble speed. Low values result in very light fluctuations, high values result in drastic warbling.
