Delay - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

Spacing
Controls the frequency relation of the allpass filters. A setting of 0 produces a classic phaser while
higher settings spread the frequencies of the allpass filters.
Feedback
Controls the feedback amount of the delay signal.
Polarity
Determines if the feedback signal is fed back into the Phaser as it is or if it is inverted beforehand.

Delay

A Delay is an effect that produces echoes of the input signal. To make this effect musically useful in a
synthesizer, the parameters to adjust the delay length are scaled in note values when Clocked is
activated. The Delay effect features its own Tempo control but can also synced to the Global Tempo
if you like.
The Delay effect is fully stereophonic, meaning that a signal that is routed to the left stereo position is
fed into the left or right delay line and vice versa depending on the setting of Auto Pan.
An important feature of the Q's Delay effect is that the Delay length can be changed without clicks or
pitch changes. This allows you to experiment with different Delay lengths without getting annoying
side effects in the output signal.
Clocked
If Clocked is set to on, the delay length is adjusted in note values. If it set to off, the delay length is
adjusted in milliseconds.
Length
Sets the length of the Delay tap in milliseconds or note values depending of the Clocked setting. A
"t" behind the number means a triplet note value while a "." behind it means a dotted note.
If the adjusted length is longer than the maximum length of the Delay effect, the Delay length is
halved automatically.
Tempo
Sets the tempo in BPM (Beats per minute) that is used as basis for the delay length. This parameter
only appears, if Clocked is set to on. When set to internal, the Tempo is synced to the Global Tempo
which in turn is generated by the Q itself or evaluated from incoming MIDI Clock. See the chapter
"The Tempo" for details.
