4-Tap Delay

The 4-Tap Delay provides 4 stages of delay with independently adjustable gain
and rate, allowing unique syncopation to be created in the layered repeats.
TIME sets the master delay time, which is also the delay time for the fi rst stage.
GAIN sets the gain for the fi rst stage. SPREAD positions the fi rst delay stage in
the stereo fi eld. A global FEEDBACK adjustment is also available. FACTOR A, B and
C adjust the delay rate relative to the global TIME setting for the 2nd, 3rd and
4th stages respectively. Each stage also has its own GAIN adjustment. X-FEED
indicates that stereo cross-feedback of the delays is active.

Tel-Ray Delay

Inspired by the original Tel-Ray hardware from the 1960's using a tuna can,
some oil and a motor. It has a very simple set of controls but allows you to create
delays, echo, chorus, vibrato and reverb type eff ects. An incredibly versatile and
creative eff ect which has a lush and unique character.
DELAY controls the delay time. SUSTAIN controls how long the delay is sustained
for. WOB controls the amount of wobble which is caused by age and quality of
materials in the original hardware.

Decimator Delay

This is a delay eff ect including a decimator unit in its chain. It will decimate the
sound by reducing the sampling frequency and the bit-depth. The Decimator
Delay is a creative tool that can be used in many ways, from emulating the
aliasing noise, found in older samplers, to generating complex, low-fi and rough
delay lines.
Decimate the sound by adjusting the DOWNSAMPLE and BIT-REDUCE. The fi lter
section will help you manipulate your preferred frequencies to smooth or retain
the grittiness of the sound. The TIME, FACTOR and FEEDBACK parameters will
handle the delay behavior. The DECIMATE (PRE-POST) parameter will set the
decimation to aff ect the input source or the only the delay line accordingly.
Modulation Delay + Reverb
Modulation Delay combines three of the most used time modulation eff ects
into one easy-to-operate unit, featuring true-stereo delay with a lush chorus,
topped off with three reverb models to choose from.
The BALANCE knob adjusts ratio of delay to reverb. The processor chain can
operate as serial where one eff ect fl ows into the next, or parallel where each
eff ect is applied to the source signal independently. TIME, FEED(back), LOW and
HI CUT all aff ect the delay. Modulation DEPTH and SPEED are adjustable.
Three types of reverb are available – ambience, club and hall – with adjustable
DECAY and HI DAMP.
Chorus
Chorus samples the input, slightly detunes it and mixes it with the original
signal to produce a somewhat thicker, shimmering sound. Use it to thicken up
background vocals, or to double the sound of brass and woodwind instruments.
Where as DELAY L/R set the total amount of delay for the left and right channel,
WIDTH determines the amount of modulated delay. SPEED sets the modulation
speed. MIX adjusts the balance of the dry and wet signals. You can further sculpt
the sound by trimming some of the low and high end from the eff ected signal
with the LO and HI CUT knobs. Additionally, the PHASE knob can tweak the
phase off set of the LFO between left and right channel and the SPREAD knob
adjusts how much of the left channel is mixed into the right and vice versa.
Finally, the WAVE knob blends between the "Danish-style" digital triangular
chorus sound and the classic analog sine wave.

Dimensional Chorus

The Dimensional Chorus off ers the most user-friendly and classic sounds,
best described as "space" and "dimensional". The 4 MODE switches can
be engaged individually or simultaneously for light chorus or very thick,
exaggerated modulation.
