Infinite Reverb and Infinite Loops Both algorithms allow you to create
"infinite" effects.
The Pitch/Delay algorithm's Delay 1 can be used as a loop sampler,
controlled by Feedback 1. Any Pitch/Delay preset can use the loop sampling
feature; simply choose a length for Delay 1, and set Feedback 1 to 100% to
start recirculation and lock out any further input. To precisely cue the end of
the loop, set MIX to Dry and listen to the input. Assigning Feedback 1 to
ADJUST is helpful, since toggling between MIN and MAX is an easy, 1-click
operation. (See Choosing ADJUST knob destination , later in this chapter.)
Once your loop is captured, experiment with changing Delay 1 to shorten it.
The Delay/Reverb algorithm will do infinite reverberation. For infinite reverb
to be truly infinite and stable, you must properly set the following four reverb
parameters to the settings shown:
Decay Time: Infinite
Treble Decay: Full bandwidth
Bass Multiply: X1.0
Size: Maximum
The User preset, Infinite Reverb (User 5: Select 15) , does this and leaves
Decay Time controlled by the front panel ADJUST knob.
When incoming audio exceeds an internally fixed threshold level, it is gated
into the reverberator. While the gate is open, the Decay Time is set one step
below infinite to prevent cumulative overloading. You will hear earlier
sounds decay away as you layer on new ones. When you finish adding
sounds, you may completely shut the gate by turning down the front panel
INPUT control, or by linking a MIDI controller to the Input parameter.
If you need to clean out the reverberator, adjust Decay Time to MIN briefly,
then return it to MAX to re-enable infinite reverberation. If there is too much
of a "loopy" quality, set Decay Time one step below MAX very briefly to
restart a 30 second randomizing process. You will notice a slight level drop
at each restart.
