Basic features:
• 87 seconds of delay/loop time in mono mode, 43 seconds in stereo mode
• 48kHz/24-bit sampling rate, loop is stored at 16-bit
• Extremely quiet, low-noise and low-jitter design
•
Ping
button and external clock jack set the timing for one "beat"
• Delay/loop time set as a number of musical beats (or fractions of beats) using the
Time
knob,
switch, and CV jack
• Sample-accurate master clock output for perfect synchronization
• Loop clock output
• Time switches change range of
Time
knob from 1/8th notes up to 32 bars
• Digital feedback, up to 110%
•
Delay Feed
control, independent of dry/wet signal mix
•
Infinite Hold
mode disables recording and plays a loop
• Start and End points of loop can be modified in real-time for “scrubbing” or “windowing”
•

Controls and Jacks
Ping Button and Jack
The
Ping
button
allows you to tap the tempo to set the base clock. One tap is
equal to one beat. The base clock can also be set by an external clock by
patching it into the
Ping
jack
.
The
Looping Delay
requires a base time, which is referred to as a
“beat”
in this
manual. The delay/loop time is mathematically related to the length of one beat. If
you are familiar with other 4ms modules, you may be familiar with the concept of
“Ping”. In the
Looping Delay
, the
beat
is the
Ping
.
There are several ways to establish a beat:
• Tap the
Ping
button twice. One beat will equal the time between your taps.
• Patch an external clock into the
Ping
jack. One beat will equal the time
between the last two pulses received at the jack.
• Just turn on the
Looping Delay
and do nothing more! The
Looping Delay
automatically boots up at 240BPM.
Another way of setting the timing is by jumping the Clock Bus header to RECV
and using a Clock Bus master (such as the 4ms
QCD
or
MiniPEG
) to send the
clock over the power distribution board. See the
Bus Clock Jumper
section on
page 16.
The
Looping Delay
’s clock is extremely stable and jitter-free. It's highly
recommended to use the internal
Looping Delay
clock (tap clock) if possible,
because it's quantized to the sample clock and has less jitter than most
commercially available clock sources. Using the
Looping Delay
as a master clock
will provide the tightest timing possible. However, if it's not possible to use the
Looping Delay
as a master clock, you can sync to an external clock by patching it
