DELAY Function
The DELAY function is available in all presets.
Delay is a reproduction of the input signal, occurring at a prescribed time (usually expressed in
milliseconds) following the input signal. The UTOPIA G100 provides two discrete delays (Delay 1
and Delay 2), each of which has its own parameters to determine its particular characteristics.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these DELAY parameters:
The DELAY parameter determines whether the Delay is active or muted
for the current preset.
The MUTE TYPE parameter allows for muting the delay at its input
(PRE), its output (POST) or BOTH.
Muting the input (PRE) of the delay will not allow any signal to enter the
delay section until the delay is switched in. When using a moderate
amount of regeneration, switching out the delay with the input muted will
allow you to generate a non-delayed signal which will play over the de-
caying regenerated signal which continues on after the delay is switched
out.
Muting the output (POST) of the delay will result in the delayed signal
being immediately turned off when the delay is switched out. This means
that delays and regeneration will not continue when the delay is switched
out. If the output were not muted, signals that were input before the delay
was switched out would be allowed to regenerate, even after switching
out the delay.
It is also possible to mute both the input and the output (BOTH) so that
no signal enters or exits the Delay section when it is not switched in.
The DELAY LEVEL parameter determines the overall level of the de-
layed signal at the output relative to the direct signal and other effect
signals. This parameter can also be accessed from the Delay function
parameter list.
The MIX parameter is used to define the ratio of Source 1 signal to
Source 2 signal to be input to the Delay section. Source 1 is the Voice 1
output from the previous effect in the signal chain (chorus, flanger, pitch
shifter, etc.), while Source 2 may be the Voice 2 output from the previous
effect in the signal chain or the direct signal (selectable via the SOURCE
2 parameter).
In configurations where there is no effect immediately preceding the
delay, Source 1 and Source 2 will be the preamp output (direct) signal.
