Delay Function - Rocktron CHAMELEON User Manual

The DELAY function is available in all presets.
Delay is a reproduction of the input signal, occurring at a prescribed time (usually expressed in milliseconds)
following the input signal. The Chameleon provides two discrete delays (Delay 1 and Delay 2), each of which has
its own parameters to determine its particular characteristics.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these DELAY parameters:
DELAY
MUTE TYPE
DELAY LVL
MIX
SOURCE 2
DLY HF DAMP
OUT LEVEL 1
28
The DELAY parameter determines whether the Delay is active or muted for the current
preset.
The MUTE TYPE parameter allows for muting the delay at its input (PRE), its output
(POST) or BOTH.
Muting the input (PRE) of the delay will not allow any signal to enter the delay section
until the delay is switched in. When using a moderate amount of regeneration, switching
out the delay with the input muted will allow you to generate a non-delayed signal which
will play over the decaying regenerated signal which continues on after the delay is
switched out.
Muting the output (POST) of the delay will result in the delayed signal being immediately
turned off when the delay is switched out. This means that delays and regeneration will
not continue when the delay is switched out. If the output were not muted, signals that
were input before the delay was switched out would be allowed to regenerate, even after
switching out the delay.
It is also possible to mute both the input and the output (BOTH) so that no signal enters
or exits the Delay section when it is not switched in.
The DELAY LEVEL parameter determines the overall level of the delayed signal at the
output relative to the direct signal and other effect signals. This parameter can also be
accessed from the Delay function parameter list.
The MIX parameter is used to define the ratio of Source 1 signal to Source 2 signal to be
input to the Delay section. Source 1 is the Voice 1 output from the previous effect in the
signal chain (chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, etc.), while Source 2 may be the Voice 2
output from the previous effect in the signal chain or the direct signal (selectable via the
SOURCE 2 parameter).
In configurations where there is no effect immediately preceding the delay, Source 1 and
Source 2 will be the preamp output (direct) signal.
The SOURCE 2 parameter is used to select whether the Source 2 input will be the
VOICE 2 output from the previous effect in the signal chain or the direct signal (DIR).
The DELAY HIGH FREQUENCY DAMPING parameter controls the amount of high
frequency content in the delayed and regenerated signals. Higher amounts of damping
will result in less high frequency information in the delayed signal.
The OUTPUT LEVEL 1 parameter determines the volume of Delay 1 relative to Delay 2.
