Resonant Delay (Waveguide, Karplus-Strong) 

Basic Resonant Delay

 

Resonant Delays are delays with short delay time (in the audio range) and enough feedback to create a 

resonant sound somewhat like that of a plucked string. 

The 

Looping Delay

 supports resonant delays. Simply tap a very fast tempo and flip the 

Time 

switch to 

1/8. 

Alternatively, feed a square wave LFO into the 

Ping

 jack. The LFO should be in the low or mid 

audio range, around 20-50Hz is the most stable, but up to 500Hz will work. 

Next, feed a signal into the 

In

 jack: a noise burst or a short sample from the 

STS

 or 

Sampler

 (

Length

 

set near minimum) is an excellent sound source. You also can use a trigger (keep in mind the amplitude 

of the trigger will effect the sound).  

Use the 

Time 

switch and knob to set the pitch. 

Feedback

 sets the resonance, and 

Delay Feed

 effects 

the level and resonance as well. Make sure 

Inf. Hold

 is off. The frequencies present in the input signal 

can ring loudly at particular settings, so be prepared for surprises! 

If you consistently have unstable results when using an external clock into the 

Ping

 jack, try setting the 

External Clock De-jitter

 setting to a different value. Small amounts of jitter in the external clock can 

cause large changes in the sound. 

Playing Resonance With a Keyboard or Sequencer

 

Holding down 

Inf. Hold

 and turning the 

Time

 knob changes the 

Looping Delay

 into 

Unquantized Time 

Mode

 (see section on page 10 for discussion). This feature is great in combination with Resonant 

Delays. First, get a nice resonant delay sound happening. Then hold down the 

Inf. Hold

 button and 

turn the 

Time

 knob slowly. You should hear the pitch of the resonance change smoothly (not stepping 

through quantized pitches). Now, plug a 1V/octave keyboard or sequencer output into the 

Time 

CV 

jack. Plug the velocity output (or an envelope output that's triggered by each step of the sequencer) into 

the 

Feedback

 jack. Turn down the 

Feedback

 knob so that the velocity/pressure or the envelope make 

the 

Looping Delay

 create individual “notes”. You can also patch into 

Delay Feed

 to get a different 

effect. 

Sound on Sound Looping #1: Creating and Removing Layers 

With the 

Looping Delay

 you can build a loop by layering audio on top of itself. Since the 

Looping 

Delay

 is always recording when not in 

Inf. Hold

 mode, each time you add a layer, the audio will be 

recorded. You can then use the 

Windowing

 feature to scrub backwards in time, essentially peeling off 

newer layers, or scrub forwards to restore the layers. 

Tap a tempo on the 

Ping

 jack of about one second. Turn the 

Time

 knob to 8, and flip the 

Time

 switch 

to = (center). This creates a loop of about eight seconds (or eight “bars", if you consider the 

Ping

 clock 

to be one bar). Make sure 

Inf. Hold

 is off. 

Start with 

Feedback

 at 90-100%, 

Delay Feed

 at 100%, and 

Mix

 at center. 

Play a sound into the 

In

 jack. It can be a short burst, a drone, random noises, anything. Since you’ll be 

layering more things on top, try to keep it under 8 seconds when you do this the first time. After you 

finish, press 

Inf. Hold

 to lock the loop in. If you want all your layers to be 8 bars each, then only turn 

Inf. Hold

 on or off when you see the red light go from off to on. 

Tip: Enabling 

Quantized Change Mode

 will force enabling/disabling 

Inf. Hold

 to happen exactly on the 

Ping

 clock (which happens every second). You also could wait until the red light goes off, patch 

Loop 

Clk Out

 into the 

Hold

 jack, and then unpatch it after the red light goes on. 

You should now be hearing the sound repeating every eight seconds.
