Multi-Delay [MTD]
5.20
The
Multi-Delay
is a rhythmic multi-tap delay block. Each Axe-Fx II preset can use two fully independent
Multi-
Delay blocks
, each of which may be set to any one of ten sub-algorithms: Quad Tap, Plex Delay, Plex Detune, Plex
Shift, Band Delay, Quad Series, Ten-Tap, Rhythm Tap, Diffusor, and Multi Tape Delay. These are detailed below.
TYPE
Quad-Tap
A stereo delay line offering four taps, each with its own parameters. A truly creative delay experience.
Plex Delay
Four delay lines interacting in a matrix of feedback, with overall feedback set as
DECAY TIME.
Plex Detune
Same as the above, but with a pitch detune control for each line. Gorgeous ambience!
Plex Shift
Extending shifter range to +/- 24 results in sounds from sweet and shimmery to scary and surreal.
Band Delay
Similar to the quad-tap, with bandpass filters at the output of each tap.
Quad-Series
Four delays in series interact through a very cool and unique feedback structure.
Ten-Tap Delay
Create cool rhythms with ten independent taps on a ten-second delay and an innocative “decay” control.
Rhythm Tap
Enter LEARN mode and tap out the rhythm you want to hear.
Diffusor
Multiple delay lines in a matrix create lush reverb-like effects.
Quad Tape Delay
Similar to the TAPE config of the DELAY block, Quad-Tap offers four heads plus a MOTOR SPEED control.
Multi-Delay Common Parameters
Every Multi-Delay
TYPE
shares a common set of PAGE 1 parameters. The
TYPE
control selects which of the above-
mentioned sub-algorithms to use, and
INPUT GAIN
determines the amount of signal fed to the effect.
Master Parameters
Most types have one or more “MASTER” parameters, summarized here. Not all MASTER parameters appear in
every type; those that do are at the top of menu PAGE 2. MASTER parameters scale the effects of other controls
and can be controlled with a modifier for interesting real-time changes.
MASTER TIME
– Scales all the delay times in the block.
MASTER LEVEL
– Scales the output levels of all taps at once.
MASTER PAN
– Scales all tap pan amounts, essentially acting as a width or spread control. Negative values
will reverse pan placement in left and right channels.
MASTER FEEDBACK
– Scales the feedback amounts of all taps or diffusors.
MASTER FREQ
– Scales the frequency values for the filters of all four taps from 0.316–3.162×. You can
create dynamic filter effects by using a modifier to change this parameter in real-time, but be sure not to set Q
values too high or too low, or the result will be difficult to hear.
MASTER PITCH
– Scales the values for all shift parameters in the block.
MASTER DETUNE
– Scales the values for all detune parameters in the block.
MASTER Q
– Scales the Q values of all four taps from 0.1–10.0×
MASTER RATE
– Scales the rate of all LFOs in the block.
MASTER DEPTH
– Scales all the depths of all LFOs in the block.
