Description Chronoblob is a digital delay module! Unlike other delays, Chronoblob can sync to an external clock. Patch one to the SYNC input and choose a multiplier/divider for rhythmic delays. Or don't do that and just sweep TIME for traditional, continuously variable delay times.
Features • Syncable delay time with clock multiplier/divider • CV and manual control of buffer hold • Feedback loop send and return • Equal-power crossfading dry/wet control • Input overload LED (20 Vpp max) • Voltage control of delay time and feedback level •...
Panel A. TIME knob Set the delay time or clock divider/multiplier when in SYNC mode. B. Sync/overload indicator If the module is synced to a clock and the RANGE switch is set to LONG (up), then this LED blinks at the selected multiple/division of the clock.

2.73 seconds. This switch also selects the behavior of the sync/overload indicator when in SYNC mode. H. MODE switch Select how Chronoblob responds to changes in the delay time. RESAMPLE mode (up) creates pitch shifting effects, while CROSSFADE mode (down) simply fades between delay taps.

+1dB of feedback. 6. SYNC input Use this input to sync the delay time to a clock signal. Chronoblob detects when this input is patched, so even if the clock stops, it will remain in SYNC mode until the patch cable is removed.
Settings / Firmware Update Chronoblob has some available user settings and advanced functions. To access them, set the RANGE and MODE switches to one of the following configurations, then power up the module while pressing the HOLD button. HOLD button behavior (SHORT / CROSSFADE) This setting selects whether the HOLD button acts as a toggling or momentary switch.
Firmware update (LONG / RESAMPLE) This will run the audio bootloader in order to update the module's firmware. The HOLD LED will glow dimly to indicate that the bootloader is waiting for firmware data. Make sure that the FDBK knob is fully counterclockwise, and play a valid firmware audio file into the IN jack.
Improved the accuracy of the sync time measurement, so that when • HOLD is engaged, the buffer will stay in phase with the sync clock for much longer. • The overload LED now blinks in time with the divided or multiplied clock if the module is in SYNC mode and the RANGE switch is set to LONG (up).
