Delay Specific Parameters - Access VIRUS CLASSIC User Manual

Mode Description
PATTERN X+Y
The PATTERN delay algorithms are also ping-pong delays, but here the
delay times are locked into sync with the master clock. For this reason, you
won't find DELAY Time or DELAY Clock parameters here. Consequently,
the absolute delay times are determined by the tempo of the global clock
generator (CLOCK SPEED) or by the song tempo dictated by a connected
sequencer that is sending a clock signal. The two numbers represent six-
teenth note increments and indicate the delay for the left and right side on
the basis of sixteenth notes. Used in conjunction with the FEEDBACK
parameter, these "groove" algorithms create interesting rhythmic patterns
and accents when you patch in appropriately rhythmic signals, for example
arpeggios.
The unique sonic character of the PATTERN delay algorithms is due to -
among other things - odd time signatures (based on sixteenth-note values).
Each delay algorithm puts at least one of these options at your disposal.
Feedback is always generated via the left delay tap.
Delay Specific Parameters
DELAY TIME
The following parameters will only appear in the display when you're working with DELAY
algorithms.
This is the absolute delay time of the delay effect in milliseconds (ms). Use it to determine the inter-
val between each repetition up to a maximum delay time of 693 ms. Delay time is infinitely variable.
Changing the delay time bends the pitch of the delay signal. The DELAY TIME parameter will not
appear in the display when delay time is determined by the DELAY CLOCK (see below). If the PAT-
TERN delay is activated, neither the DELAY TIME nor the DELAY CLOCK parameters are visible; in
this case, the delay times are always synced up to the global clock generator.
