The Parameters

The PCM Native plug-ins contain presets covering a wide range of needs, but you can refine 

and customize any preset by adjusting its parameters. Parameters are the building blocks within 

each preset that determine how it sounds and behaves. 

Each PCM Native plug-in contains a set of parameters, and a variety of those parameters are 

combined to create a preset. 

Following are all the algorithm parameters you can edit in the PCM Native Random Delay Plug-

in. Note that sometimes parameter names are abbreviated when they appear onscreen, and 

they may have prefixes indicating what channel they control (for example, the Feedback Level 

parameter for voice 1 may appear as “L1 FbkLvl”).

Delay Master

Mix

Mix is the proportion of wet (processed) signal to dry (unprocessed) signal.

Diffusion

Input diffusion is the first part of processing for any signal entering a delay. It can be described 

as a smearing or softening of the signal and is typically used to lessen the impact of strong 

transients.

Feedback Diffusion

Feedback Diffusion is similar to Input Diffusion, except that it is applied to a delayed signal that 

is being added back into the input.

Delay Level Master

Controls all delays in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal gain value adjusted by this 

percentage.

Delay Time Master

Controls all delays in the algorithm. Each voice has its nominal delay time adjusted by this 

percentage.
