Slap Delay
A Slap delay is similar to a short reverb, but it doesn’t have a continuous release. A real-world example is shouting
in an alleyway between two buildings and hearing one pronounced echo.
D
ELAY
T
IME
sets the delay (in ms) before the
onset of the slap. Range: 0 ms to 5000 ms
VSO
simulates the delay encountered when
tape passes between the record and play
heads of a recorder. Each tape speed has a
corresponding delay value:
7.5 ips
332 ms
15 ips
166 ms
30 ips
83 ms
S
YNC
sets the delay time value for each Tap.
EchoSphere is always synced with the host.
Use the drop-down menu to set musical
subdivision. Turn Sync off to enter delay
values that are independent of the host.
When you select a tape speed (VSO), a corresponding EQ curve is loaded in the background. This pairing of
delay and EQ is part of what creates the unique CLA sound. Adjust the delay manually or turn on Sync to assign
musical subdivisions of the host tempo. The EQ curve will not change until a new tape speed is selected.
F
EEDBACK
controls the amount of the tap signal that is returned to the input. The result is a repeating and
diminishing echo.
R
OUTING
sets the signal path of the Slap output.
