THE DELAY
This effect makes a copy of the source signal and then adds it back into the signal after a period of time as set by
the BPM analyser. The level, fidelity and number of repeats can be set to determine how much this affects the
original signal. The delayed signal can be a perfect copy of the original, thanks to the high quality of digital
technology in the FEDERATION, but this is not always what the user wants. The Repro control is provided to allow
the fidelity of the delayed signal to be reduced to that of a classic tape echo machine of the sixties/seventies or
beyond to extreme 'grunge'. The number of repeats can be varied from one to increasingly numerous repeats
which, although decaying in volume, will still threaten to drown out the source signal (which may be exactly what
you want). Use the Max repeat position with caution!
LEVEL
(REPRO)
This control has two functions determined by the delay's SET
Under normal operating conditions (when the SET
mix level of the delay effect. At the fully anti-clockwise position only the original 'dry' signal will be heard. As the
knob is moved towards the 12 o'clock position the delayed or 'wet' signal will be gradually introduced. As the knob
is moved past the 12 o'clock position the dry signal will be gradually reduced until, at the fully clockwise position
only the wet signal will be heard.
When the SET
button is pressed and held down (LED flashing) this control sets the audio reproduction quality
(EDIT)
of the delayed signal. At the DIGITAL setting the reproduction quality will be at its highest (44.1kHz CD quality). At
the VINTAGE TAPE position the high and low frequency content has been limited whilst harmonic distortion and
speed variations (chorus) are also introduced to create the classic sound of a vintage analogue tape machine. At
the GRUNGE position all these elements are exaggerated to an extreme.
Between the fully anti-clockwise and 10 o'clock positions, DIGITAL reproduction will be selected. Between the 10
o'clock and 2 o'clock positions, VINTAGE TAPE reproduction will be selected. Between the 2 o'clock and fully
clockwise positions, GRUNGE reproduction will be selected. The main BPM display will indicate the settings as
follows:
REPEAT
This control sets the number of times the delayed signal is repeated. At the fully anti-clockwise position (Min), there
will just be a single repeat or echo of the signal (no feedback). As the control is moved in a clockwise direction the
