10.3 Master Delay
Delay is one of the two send effects. A send effect basically routes an
adjustable amount of audio in parallel to its main signal path and is sent to
a common audio effect. In this case delay. This delay affected audio is then
returned back to the main audio path. The effect itself is a common
function, managing several send / return signals. Any common delay
parameter adjustments will therefore also affect other send signals. The
'Send / Return' configuration is a common application for delay effects.
What is a delay effect?
Delay Time
Time delay between input and output.
Delay Line
Input
Connecting the output to the input creates feedback
and increases the delay 'events'.
A delay is a common production effect used to delay an incoming signal to
the output. While this is a simple principle there are many effects that use
delay as a foundation. Some examples are echo (creating defined repeats)
and chorus (short delay taps to give a thicker rather than echo style feel) as
well as specific delay types such as ping-pong delay, spreading the delay
points across the stereo field left to right and slap-back delay emulating old
tape delays which are used successfully to thicken vocals.
Delay is a time based effect and synchronisation (or not) with the track
tempo should also be considered depending on the output required.

Pingpong
Selects a pingpong (left / right

Sync
Synchronisation to project tempo.
If on rate is used to sync to
tempo. Specific time is used if off.

Description
Toggles the pingpong mode on or off. This will
set the delays to be generated across the
stereo field left to right
Toggles synchronisation to the project tempo
on or off. When on, the rate with respect to
tempo is used for the delay. When off, the time
parameter is used.
The rate divider / multiplier, synchronised to
project tempo, used for the delay time.
Available when sync is set to on.
The time used for the delay. Only available
when sync is set to off.
Amount of delay output signal that is fed back
into the delay input. This parameter is what
increases the number of delays in the audio.
Applies a filter to the delay and helps shape
the sound tone more appropriately.
