Mono Types and Common Parameters
The Mono Delay algorithm has a great set of features including drive, reverb-like diffusion, dual-LFO modulation,
EQ in the feedback path, bit reduction, ducking, and more.
Time
– Sets the time of the delay in milliseconds. When shown in parenthesis, its value is being set automatically
by the Tempo parameter (see below). Set Tempo to “NONE” to regain manual control.
Tempo
– Syncs the Time parameter (see above) in rhythmic relation to the tempo. For example, if the tempo is
120 BPM, and Tempo is “1/4” (one echo per beat), time will be 500 ms. To ignore the tempo, set to “NONE.”
Master Feedback
– Scales any and all feedback parameters. Note that the range of this control is 0–200%,
making it possible (easy, in fact) to overload the feedback loop.
Feedback
– Sets the amount of delay feedback (a.k.a. regeneration) to determine the number of repeats.
Negative values phase-invert the signal in the feedback loop.
Echo Pan
– Positions the echo in the stereo output of the Delay block. Note that this is different than the
Balance control, which acts on both wet and dry signals.
Repeat Hold
– This switch defeats the inputs of the delay and “captures” the current feedback loop, which plays
infinitely, as long as this switch remains ON.
Drive
– Determines the amount of distortion in the delay path. Use this to simulate the way cascading feedback
overloads a tape or analog delay.
Bit Reduction
– This control makes it possible to create the lo-fi sounds of vintage digital delays. The number
shown is the number of bits to be subtracted from 24-bit full scale. To create a 16-bit delay, for example, set Bit
Reduction to “8” (24 – 8 = 16). Bit Reduction is often used with high-frequency rolloff.
Right Post Delay
– Widens the sound of a mono echo by adding 0–100ms of delay at the right (wet) output.
