The Tap Factory is a tool with endless possibilities – so don’t hesitate to experiment and
be creative. If something goes wrong, you have up to 20 undo steps. Undo/redo also
includes the randomization and A/B functions.

The L/R MIRROR button is a toggle that mirrors the delay-tap pattern at the Y-axis
(Left/Right). 

The pattern is mirrored instantly. The status of the button is not saved as part of a
preset (while of course the consequences of having the key pressed are stored).

The Shade settings set on the Shade Settings page are global settings. However, with this

tap.

Feedback can be set for each tap individually. However, with this multiplier it is possible
to multiply the current feedback settings on all taps at the same time and thereby adjust
the individual taps relatively. Notice that when the feedback-sum is above 100 %, the
indicated feedback percentage and the feedback factor turns red. Read more on page 19.

This parameter multiplies the value of the 24 individual taps. The “x 1.00” setting means:
“What you see is what you get” when monitoring the delay settings.
If you set the Delay Multiplier knob to another value than “x 1.00” and press “APPLY”, the
individual tap-delays are updated to the calculated delay-time, and the delay multiplier is
reset to “x 1.00”, indicating that again the shown tap values are what you hear.

Use this knob to set the mix between the wet and dry signal components. When using
the plug-in as a send effect, use the 100 % wet setting. When you use the plug-in as an
insert effect, you can use the wet/dry mix to set the effects level.
