loudness (logarithmically). That is to say, with Audio Taper, if the Delay Feed knob is at 50% then the audio level
will be 10% (which the ear perceives as half as loud).
In
Linear Taper
, if the knob is at 50% then the audio level will be 50%.
Previous firmware version had the
Delay Feed
knob work with an
Audio Taper
, because that's preferred for most
audio volume knobs since it follows the ear's natural way of perceiving loudness. However with variable
Feedback
,
Wet/Dry Mix
, and multiple channels mixing together, the idea of "natural perception" is out the window. We got
some feedback from users that
Delay
Feed
seemed to make things too quiet too quickly, so the use of
Linear
Taper
compensates for that. In Version 5,
Linear Taper
is not the default but can be changed by the user.
With
Linear Taper
, iIf you have a very hot input signal you should keep
Delay Feed
below 50% so that it doesn't
saturate
Runaway DC Blocking – NEW FEATURE!
Hardware on the DLD inputs eliminates most
DC offset
, but it’s still possible for a small amount of offset to come into
the systems and problems can occur internally when high feedback magnifies this offset until it causes the whole
output signal to drift up or down and hitting the rails, causing grave distortion
Runaway DC Block
protects against this toxic situation, The default is set to ‘on’ and we recommend not adjusting this
unless you are using the DLD for recording CV sequences with Feedback at or near 0%.
