RUN
– When this is turned ON, the reverse playback process is active and can be heard. Turning RUN to OFF
will mute playback (though any samples in the buffer will still silently run out). This switch can be remotely
operated with a modifier (attached, for example, to a footswitch) to stop and start playback.
TRIG RESTART
– When this is set to “ON” the reverse playback restarts when triggered via the RUN control.
If set to “OFF,” playback continues from the current position. The combination of RUN+TRIG RESTART can be
used to precisely align reversed passages to certain moments in a performance or to re-align tempo-based
reversing to the groove.
Tip: If you’re working with a sequencer, assign an EXTERNAL controller and re-trigger this every few bars to keep sync.
TEMPO
– Locks the TIME parameter in rhythmic relation to the global tempo. See the
TEMPO
section under
the
type (above) for more about the relationship between BPM and delay time in milliseconds.
XFADE TIME
– Sets the crossfade time between reverse audio snippets. When the playback position
approaches the delay time, a new snippet begins playback at time zero. The crossfade time controls how long
it takes for the old snippet to fade out and the new one to fade in. You can achieve interesting and rhythmic
variations by setting long crossfade times. For classic reverse delay sounds, set this at or near minimum value.
Tape Delay
5.6.7
The
Tape Delay
simulates a tape echo with two heads and motor speed control. It is ideal for vintage tape echoes,
but can also create vintage digital or analog delay effects. Built in EQ and modulation make it warm and warbly.

MOTOR SPEED
– Sets the relative speed of the tape motor from 50% to 200%. This parameter can be
modified in real time, making it possible to “time warp” delayed material.
NOTE: The effect of MOTOR SPEED is cumulative with that of the onboard LFOs (see Delay Common Parameters on p. 65). To
accommodate maximum flexibility for these individual controls, it is possible that extreme settings may “clip” modulation by
pushing time excursion beyond the “legal limit.”
