Delay
This master effect offers classic echo effects with
a twist. Typically, there is one delay for the left
and right channel. The Time controls adjust the
time to elapse before the input sound echoes.
The feedback level sets the number of echoes or
repeats. A Hi Damp control in the feedback path
allows for typical dub-sound effects.
In addition to these common parameters, Hy-
brid’s delay includes a Character control to ad-
just its sound quality from digital to vintage. In
fact, the effect of the Character control com-
pares well to a tape delay.
Mode
Selects the basic layout of the feedback
path for the left and right delay line. Choose
one of the following modes:
• Dual—The feedback paths of the left and right
delay lines are in parallel, meaning the left
and right channels feed their outputs to their
respective inputs.
• Cross—The feedback paths of the left and
right delay lines are crossed, meaning the left
channel feeds its output to the input of the
right channel and the right channel feeds its
output to the input of the left channel.
Sync Button
When the Sync button is active
(lit), the delay times are adjusted in fractions of
a beat. When Sync is disabled (unlit), the delay
times are adjusted in seconds.
Time Left
Sets the time to elapse before the left
channel repeats the input sound.
FB Left (Feedback Left)
Adjusts the feedback
level of the left channel. The control range is
from 0% to 100%. The higher the value the
more echoes will repeat on that channel.
Time Right
Sets the time to elapse before the
right channel repeats the input sound.
FB Right (Feedback Right)
Adjusts the feedback
level of the right channel. The control range is
from 0% to 100%. The higher the value the
more echoes will repeat on that channel.
Hi Damp Adjusts the high frequency loss of re-
peated echoes. This simulates the regeneration
loss from analog tape echoes. The control range
is from 0% to 100%. Use higher values for darker
echoes.
Character
Adjusts the basic sound quality of the
delay effect from digital to vintage. The control
range is from 0% to 100%. Use higher values to
age the sound of the delay.
Wet Mix Adjust the amount of delay that mixes
with the original sound. The control range is
from 0% to 100%.
On
Activates and deactivates (bypasses) the ef-
fect.
If you want a delay on one part only, add a
delay to one of the part’s effects Inserts, in-
stead of to the Master Effects section.
