Monomachine SFX-6/60 USER’S MANUAL 31
DELAY
The Track Effect delay of the Monomachine is a single tap delay with real-
time adjustable delay time. Some of its functionality can resemble tape
loops and solid state CCD delays. The delay time is always put in relation to
the global tempo setting.
The figure below outlines the function of the delay:
The Delay Send (“DSND”) parameter controls how high level of sound will
be let in to the delay loop from the audio signal of the track. To start get any
effect of the delay you need to first adjust Delay Send to some value other
than zero and generate some sound.
Delay send can be set to positive and negative values. For negative values
the stereo image of the signal will be preserved and for positive values it will
be switched left-right. The feedback loop will also be switched depending if
the Delay Send is set to positive or negative values. This means that you
should set negative Delay Send values to get delay with preserved stereo
image, and positive values for ping-pong delay.
The Delay Time (“DTIM”) parameter controls the delay time of the delay
loop. The actual delay time is relative to the current tempo, and it is meas-
ured in 1/256 notes. For instance, for a one beat delay (four 1/16 notes)
Delay Time should be set to 64.
When changing the Delay Time parameter or changing the tempo you will
hear the contents in the delay loop speed up or down to adjust to the new
tempo set. This behaviour allows the delay time parameter to be changed at
any time, without the typical digital crackle or brief silence usually experi-
enced when adjusting delay time of digital delays.
Try applying an LFO to the Delay time for interesting speed-modu-
lating effects!
The Feedback (“DFB”) parameter controls how much of the delay output
sound will be fed back into the input of the delay. Using the Feedback you
can make delays with several or infinite “echoes”.
