With the Release rotary knob you set the release time, i.e the time it takes for the compressor to return
to the original input level. Range: 125 ms to 10.2 s.

The Delay module group features a variety of audio delay modules, from basic static delay lines to mod-
ulatable stereo delays with feedback and filter controls. The delay modules are designed for use with audio
signals but of course you can use them for other types of signals as well.

To optimize the total use of RAM memory in the synth, there is a Range drop-down selec-
tor with which you can choose the maximum delay Time for your application. The ranges
are: 5 ms, 25 ms, 100 ms, 500 ms, 1.0 s, 2.0 s and 2.7 s. For example, if you only plan to
use a maximum delay Time of 0.4 seconds, select the 500 ms Range.
Note that changing Range will force
the Sound Engine to recalculate and thus cause a brief moment of silence
.

In some modules, the delay time can be modulated from an external source. The modula-
tion amount can also be attenuated with the corresponding knob of
[Attenuator Type I]
.
Note that modulating the time of a delayed audio signal will also affect the pitch. This can
generate quite interesting effects.
If you want to modulate the delay time from the minimum value (0.01 ms) to the maximum value (de-
pending on the Range setting described above) with a positive envelope (that produces a positive unipolar
control signal with a peak to peak level swing from 0 units to +64 units), set the initial delay time to 0.01
ms and the mod-amount to 100.
If you want to modulate the delay time from the minimum value (0.01 ms) to the maximum value (de-
pending on the Range setting described above) with an LFO (that produces a bipolar control signal with
a peak to peak level swing from –64 units to +64 units), set the initial delay time to 50% of maximum
Range and the mod-amount to 50. Increasing the setting of the mod-amount will force the delay time to
stay at minimum and maximum delay times for as long as it takes for the modulation signal to get within
the delay time range again.
