  • Page 2: Overview

    • Overview Overview Repeater is a stereo delay type effect processor with independent control of processing path for left and right channels. It also emulates the nature and of many various hardware devices of this kind (including the classic effect units). When the plug-in is loaded to the hosting application its graphic interface appears: Repeater graphical interface...

    PAN L • Signal FlOw INPUT COLOR L LEFT CHANNEL COLOR FLOW IN L CLIPPER Signal Flow CLIPPER IN R RIGHT COLOR CHANNEL FLOW In general, the Repeater processing path may be described as two independent paths; left and right channel. Each path has an independent COLOR R delay line and additional (identical for each channel) processing blocks, which enrich the overall capabilities.

Together with the Note Value we can select one of the three available Modifiers by clicking adequate area on the display (above).

  • Page 12: Feedback

    • Signal FlOw delay line with Feedback lOOP Spread SPREAD is a left and right channel line delay time modifier. When this function is active a phase offset occurs between both delay lines, which makes an impression that the stereo scene is wider. The function operates with two intensity levels and is controlled with the SPREAD switch: Spread parameter It takes the following values:...

  • Page 13: Analog Mode

    • Signal FlOw delay line with Feedback lOOP Analog mode In this mode, the feedback loop works in analog-like fashion, which results in the sound becoming dimmer with each pass through the loop. Analog toggle button enables / disables this mode: Analog button Ping-Pong By default left and right channel delay line feedback loops are separated and operate independently (PING-PONG is inactive).
