5.1 Surround Delay Types - Waldorf Q Keyboard User Manual

Feedback Ducking
Dampens the feedback signal generated by the delay effect. A setting of off doesn´t dampen the
feedback signal at all, while higher values generate a heavier dampening effect.

5.1 Surround Delay Types

The Surround Delay Types are only available on the FX2 unit.
Along side current wide-spread use of stereo recording technology, multiple channel recording
techniques have recently established themselves particularly in film audio. Thanks to the rise of DVD,
consumer expectations of audio in general have increased. Music-only recordings done as surround
productions are not unusual anymore. For this reason, the effects in the Q have been expanded to
include two Surround Delays.
The term „5.1" means that 6 channels will be supported at the same time; 2 front speakers, 2 rear
speakers, and one center channel speaker build up the normal 5 tone channels (5.x) where the
loudspeakers surround the listener in a circle. The sixth channel supports the so-called LFE channel
(Low Frequency Effects) which is almost always connected to a subwoofer (x.1).
To use the full performance of the surround delays please connect the Q´s audio outputs to your
mixing unit or to a special surround amplifier as follows:
☞
Output setup of the Q when using the surround delays:
• Main Out L+R outputs the signal for the front speaker L+R
• Sub Out 1 L+R outputs the signal for the rear speaker L+R
• Sub Out 2 L outputs the signal for the center speaker
• Sub Out 2 R outputs the LFE signal for the subwoofer
5.1 Delay
This delay type produces different echoes of the input signal and sends them to the corresponding
audio outputs of the Q (refer to the text above).
Delay
Sets the length of the SurroundDelay in milliseconds.
Feedback
Controls the amount of signal that is routed back into the Delay line. Lower values therefore produce
fewer echoes than higher values.
