Summary of Contents for Noise Engineering Imitor

  • Page 1 Imitor Adjustable multitap delay with up to 32 taps and a unique feedback processing structure. Create rhythmic delays, customizable comb filters, shimmering atmospheres, and more! User Guide...
  • Page 2 Imitor excels at long, evolving echoes and creating rhythms from a single sound, but it can also be set to extremely short delay times for comb filtering, flanging, chorus, and more. Imitor is a delay and echo playground: if you can imagine it, you can create it with Imitor.

  • Page 4 Tempo Sync When Free is checked, Imitor’s delay time is unsynced, and echo timing is unrelated to the session tempo. When Sync is checked, Imitor’s delays are synced with the session tempo and meter. Time (Free selected) Sets the amount of time between taps in seconds. At low settings, echoes occur at audio rates, useful for effects like comb filtering and flanging.
  • Page 5 Time Warp Bipolar; set the tap spacing. When the control is centered, taps are spaced evenly. To the left, taps start fast and slow down; to the right, they start slow and speed up. This is useful for creating bouncing ball effects where echoes accelerate over time, or impactful bursts of echoes.
  • Page 6 Pre Delay Sets the amount of time between an input sound and the first delay tap. Pre delay time presented as a fraction of the Time or Beats setting. For example, a pre delay twice the length of the delay time would be set with ½. Pre delay time is useful both as a creative effect and for creating space: long pre delays are quite useful when creating rhythmic echoes, and short pre delays change the perception of sound location.
  • Page 7 Index Sets the amount of LFO modulation sent to the taps. Low Index and Speed settings are great for adding tape warble and texture, and higher settings create excitement and timbral changes in the echoes. Speed Changes how fast the LFO moves. Dance Changes the relative phase of the LFOs used to modulate the timing of each tap.
  • Page 8 Tail Regen Sets the feedback amount. Goes above 100%. With only one tap enabled, this will control the number of echoes heard. With multiple taps enabled, this will control the length of the echo tail. High settings will create drones that oscillate forever. Doom Adds a chaotic suboctave shift to the feedback loop.
  • Page 9 Volume Controls the level of sound coming into the Rack Extension. Sets the output level of the Rack Extension. Blend Controls the dry/wet balance. Fully left, the unmodified input signal is passed through. Fully right, only the processed signal is heard. Points in the middle give you a mix of both.

    Back Panel Back-panel knobs act as attenuators for all inputs. Back-panel knobs act as attenuators for all inputs. Inputs Left/Right Audio inputs. For mono operation, patch signals to L. Outputs Left/Right Stereo audio outputs.
  • Page 11 Sandwich, and Pudding. Imitor is an incredibly deep and versatile effect, and we wanted the presets to act as starting points that showed off some of the many things that Imitor could be used for. Bread And Butter contains some of your most basic settings: an interpretation of a tape delay, a bouncing ball, and some other simple effects.
