Delay

The Delay function is used to edit Delay parameters.

Delay (Page 1)

The QuadraSynth Plus’s effects processor has three different Delay types available.

Note: Some delay modules only feature a mono Delay, and therefore the Delay Type parameter will be unavailable. Instead the parameters normally found on page 2 of the Delay function are shown in page 1, and there are no other pages (please refer to next section for a description of those parameters).

Delay Type

Ping-Pong.This is called a “Ping Pong Delay’ because the output bounces from side to side (left to right) in stereo with the speed determined by the delay time. The maximum delay time is 399 milliseconds.

Stereo Delay. The Stereo Delay is actually two separate delays, which can be individually varied. The maximum delay time for each delay is 399 ms.

Mono. The Mono Delay has the advantage of twice the available delay time, or 799 ms in Configuration #1, 1199 ms in Configuration #2.

Delay (Pages 2 and 3)

In Page 2 of the Delay Function you will find the remaining parameters for the Delay function. If the Stereo Delay type is selected, you can press PAGE [∅] again to advance to Page 3. This is because the Stereo Delay type has parameters for both the Left and Right channels.

Input

Quad Knob [1] is used to balance the Delay Input between the signal coming from the Pitch effect output (if applicable) and the dry effect send.

Time/Left Time/Right Time

This is the actual Delay time, which determines the amount of time the input signal will be delayed. Use Quad Knob [2] to adjust the delay time in 10 ms intervals; use Quad Knob [3] to adjust the delay time in 1 ms intervals.

Feedback/Left Feedback/Right Feedback

Quad Knob [4] is used to adjust the Delay Feedback, which is a portion of the delay signal output being “fed back” into the input. This results in the delay repeating itself. The more feedback, the more repeats.
