Tap Delay - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

Sound Parameters – Effects

Tap Delay

Like the normal delay the Tap Delay produces echoes of the input signal. You can control volume
and panorama by up to 16 delay steps allowing you to create very complex and rhythmic sound
structures. The Tap Delay is synced automatically to the Q´s tempo. Please refer to the chapter "The
Tempo" on page 56.
Delay
Sets the length of the Delay taps in note values. A "t" behind the number means a triplet note value
while a "." behind it means a dotted note.
Feedback
Controls the amount of signal that is routed back into the Delay line. Lower values therefore produce
fewer echoes than higher values.
Swing Factor
Changes the timing of the Offbeat Delay. A setting of 50% doesn´t change the timing while lower or
higher settings spread the delay time forwards or backwards.
Selection and Editing of the Delay Taps
Single taps are chosen with the left display dial while the right display dial change its corresponding
value. You can see the selected tap displayed as a number in the left corner. The current value of this
tap is simultaneously shown in the right display corner. Additionally, a blinking cursor marks the
position of the chosen tap. As you will see, all values are shown in the lower display line. You can
switch between the volume and panorama page with the red dial.
Volume
Determines the volume of the choosen delay tap. A – switches the corresponding step off.
Panorama
Determines the panorama or stereo spread of the choosen delay step. In the lower display line you
can change all panorama settings to c (center), l (left) or r (right).
