EFFECTS - DELAY

Tape

The Tape Delay simulates historical, tape-based delays, including the clipping sound that occurs when the Feedback parameter is yanked past the 100% point. Try experimenting with a high Feedback level combined with the high-cut filter.

Dynamic

The Dynamic Delay is a feature that was initially introduced in the world renowned TC 2290. It allows the dynamics of the input level to reduce the delay output level while you play and increase the delay level when you stop playing. The result can be a clear and undisturbed source signal while you play and a significant delay level when pausing.

Instead of the Hi-Cut parameter the G-Natural Dynamic Delay has a “Damp” parameter. (see Delay parameters)

PingPong

The PingPong delay causes the delay to alternate between the left and right channels, resulting in a radical stereo feel.

Spill-over

All delays feature true “spill-over” – meaning the repeats of the delay can ring out when you change presets.

Delay Parameters

The following parameters are identical for all Delay types.

Delay

Range: 0 to 1800ms

This parameter sets the time between the delay repeats. This is also known as the “length” of the delay.

Feedback Range: 0 to 100 %

This parameter sets the amount of feedback from the output of the effect back to its input. Use the Feedback parameter to set how many repeats of the signal you would like to have.

Hi-Cut

Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz

With digital technology, every delay can be a precise reproduction of the Input signal. But especially with long Delay times, this is not always desirable, as these pristine delays may disturb the original signal and result in a “washed-out” sound. To compensate for this, use the hi-cut filter, thereby emulating analog or style delays.

Mix

Range: 0 to 100%

This parameter sets the mix between the dry signal and the level of the effect in this effect block.

Damp (Dynamic Delay only)

Range: 0 to 100 dB

The output of the delay repeats is controlled by the input dynamics. This parameter sets how effective the attenuation should be.
