Getting started: basic patches
Two channel delay: Mono input, stereo output
In this patch, both delay channels will be used (Channel A and Channel
B). First, patch a signal into the
In A
jack, and take the outputs from
Out A
and
Out B
. The signal you feed into
In A
will automatically be
fed to
In B
(as long as you don't plug anything into the
In B
jack).
Set the knobs and switches as shown. Patch audio into the
In A
jack,
perhaps a sequenced melody or a drum pattern. Monitor the output on
Out A
and
Out B
jacks. If possible, pan the two outputs in stereo. Or
you can have both outputs mix together into the
Out A
jack by
unplugging the
Out B
jack.
One channel delay: Mono input, mono output
You might think to run a mono signal, you should patch in and out of
channel A. However, this will actually use Channel A and B in parallel
(which is great fun, but can be confusing if you're expecting only one
channel to be active). The reason is that Channel A's input and output
normalize to Channel B, this is will actually.
To use just one channel, use Channel B as shown on the left.
Resonant Delay (ala Karplus-Strong effect)
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 DLD supports Resonant Delays. You can tap a very fast
tempo and flip the
Time switch
to 1/8, or (even better) feed a
square wave VCO into the
Ping
jack. The VCO should be in the
low or mid audio range, less than 2kHz (250-500Hz is ideal).
Feed a signal into the
In
jack: noise works well, so do triggers
(10V triggers will resonant more, 5V triggers are barely enough to
trigger the resonance). Use the
Time switch
and knob to set the
Pitch.
Feedback
sets the resonance (which determines the
amplitude of the pitch), and
Delay Feed
effects the level and
resonance as well. Make sure
Infinite Hold
is off.
Playing Resonance with a keyboard or sequencer
Holding down
Infinite Hold
and turning the
Time
knob changes
the DLD channel into
Unquantized Time Mode
(see section
below for discussion). This feature is great in combination with
Resonant Delays. First get a nice resonant delay sound
happening. Then hold down the
Infinite 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 DLD create individual
“notes”. You can also patch into Delay Feed to get a different effect. Since there are two DLD channels, you can use it as a
duophonic melodic instrument!
