Delay (ms)

A mono delay line that shifts whatever you patch in by a fixed amount of time, from 0 to 500 ms. It buffers raw signal, so it delays audio, CV, and gates equally well.

How it works

This is a single-tap delay line. With Feedback at zero you get one delayed copy of the input — more a way of moving a signal later in time than an echo effect. Turn Feedback up and the delayed tap regenerates into a chain of repeating echoes. There's no wet/dry mix; the output is the delayed tap on its own. Delay is rounded down to a whole sample (no interpolation), so sweeping the time fast gives a gritty, zippered character rather than smooth flanging.

Controls

• Time — the delay length, 0–500 ms. Set it on the knob or by dragging the tap along the Echo timeline above it.
• Feedback — feeds the delayed tap back into the line, turning the single tap into a string of repeating echoes. At 0 it's a clean one-shot delay; push it up toward 0.95 for long, slowly-decaying repeats.

Inputs & outputs

• In — the signal to delay.
• Time / Feedback CV — voltage control over the two knobs; patch an LFO or envelope here. ±5 V on Time sweeps ±100 ms around the knob setting (clamped to 0–500 ms), and ±5 V on Feedback spans the full 0–0.95 range.
• Out — the delayed signal.

Tips

• Patch a gate or trigger into In to nudge a rhythm slightly late — handy for swing, slap, or offsetting one voice against another.
• Modulate Time with an LFO for grainy, stepped pitch artifacts; the integer-sample readout is the sound, not a bug.
• Crank Feedback near 0.95 and nudge Time while it sings for dub-style runaway echoes that smear and pitch-shift as the buffer regenerates.
