Delay
A single-tap feedback delay. It captures your signal, plays it back a moment later, and folds each repeat back into itself to build an echo tail — from tight slapback to long, decaying trails, with the gap between repeats stretching up to two seconds.
Controls
- Echo timeline — a live picture of the delay: the dry impulse at the left, then the echo train spaced by Time and decaying by Feedback. Drag left/right to set the time, up/down for feedback, and double-click to reset. The tail grows visibly as you push feedback up.
- Time — the gap between repeats, from a
10 msflutter to a2 slag. - Feedback (Fdbk) — how much of each echo feeds the next; low gives a single slap, high rings out for ages. It tops out just shy of runaway, so it never quite self-oscillates — crank it for huge trails without the level exploding.
- Mix — blends the dry input against the delayed signal; fully down is clean, fully up is all echo.
Inputs & outputs
- In L — the left (or mono) signal to delay; patch audio (or CV).
- In R — the right signal. Patch it and the right channel gets its own delay line, running through the same Time, Feedback and Mix settings. Leave it empty and the left input is processed in mono and sent to both outputs.
- Time / Fb / Mix CV — voltage control over each knob; patch an LFO or envelope to any of them. The CV adds to the knob setting, so leave the knob where you want the centre of the sweep.
- Out L / Out R — the dry and delayed signals blended by Mix. If you patch both inputs but only take Out L, the two channels are folded together so the right side isn't lost.
Tips
- Short Time with high Feedback turns echoes into metallic, pitched comb tones.
- Dial Time to a beat division of your tempo for echoes that lock to the groove.
