TC electronic SDN BHD Multi-Tap Delay manual Parameters

PARAMETERS

1 – Undo/Redo

The Tap Factory is a tool with endless possibilities – so don’t hesitate to experiment and be creative. If something goes wrong, you have up to 20 undo steps. Undo/redo also includes the randomization and A/B functions.

2 – L/R Mirror

The L/R MIRROR button is a toggle that mirrors the delay-tap pattern at the Y-axis (Left/Right).

The pattern is mirrored instantly. The status of the button is not saved as part of a

preset (while of course the consequences of having the key pressed are stored).

3 – Shade Factor

The Shade settings set on the Shade Settings page are global settings. However, with this multiplier it is possible to increase or decrease the effect of Shade settings on each delay tap.

4 – Feedback Factor

Feedback can be set for each tap individually. However, with this multiplier it is possible to multiply the current feedback settings on all taps at the same time and thereby adjust the individual taps relatively. Notice that when the feedback-sum is above 100 %, the indicated feedback percentage and the feedback factor turns red. Read more on page 19.

5 – Delay Multiplier

This parameter multiplies the value of the 24 individual taps. The “x 1.00” setting means: “What you see is what you get” when monitoring the delay settings.

If you set the Delay Multiplier knob to another value than “x 1.00” and press “APPLY”, the individual tap-delays are updated to the calculated delay-time, and the delay multiplier is reset to “x 1.00”, indicating that again the shown tap values are what you hear.

6 – Apply button for Delay Multiplier

When you press the “APPLY” button, all taps are recalculated according to the Delay Multiplier factor, and the Delay Multiplier is reset to “x 1.00”.

7 – Input level trim knob

Use this knob to adjust the input level by monitoring the input meters.

8 – Panic button

If you have set too many taps with too high a feedback setting – this button may be handy. It will stop all delay taps immediately.

PARAMETERS

9 – Screen selector

Select either “All Taps” or “Shade” Settings.

Via the “All Taps” screen and its sub-pages (Level, Pan, Feedback, Shade and Pan) you have full individual parameter control of all taps.

On the “Shade Settings” screen you can set attenuation of any frequency area. The attenuation is applied to all taps.

10 – Meters

Meters on the left are input meters and meters on the right are output meters.

11 – Output level knob

Controls the output level of the plug-in. Normally, you will set this to 100 % and control the level of the delays in your host software.

12 – Wet/Dry mix knob

Use this knob to set the mix between the wet and dry signal components. When using the plug-in as a send effect, use the 100 % wet setting. When you use the plug-in as an insert effect, you can use the wet/dry mix to set the effects level.

13 – Delay, Pan, Feedback, Shade & Phase parameters – and how to adjust these.

These parameters can be set for each individual delay tap. There are two basic ways of adjusting the parameter values:

Adjusting a single tap:

Either click on the graphical indication of a tap using the arrow tool or click on tap

numbers 1 to 24 . Then use the knobs to adjust the individual delay parameters.
