DELAY

Delay adds echoes after each note, from a close slap to a trail that fills the gaps between phrases. Use it to give a voice or guitar more space, or make the repeats part of the rhythm.

Sets the gap before the first echo and between repeats when SYNC is FREE or no tempo is known. Short times add a close slap, longer times leave a distinct answer after each note.

Feedback sends each echo back for another repeat. Raise it for a longer trail, lower it when echoes cover the next phrase.

Blends the echoes with the original recording. Raise it to bring the repeats forward, lower it to keep them behind the performance.

Choose a note value to lock the echoes to the recording's saved metronome tempo, or its detected tempo if no metronome tempo was saved. FREE uses TIME, and so does any note value when no usable tempo is known.

MONO puts the echoes in the center, STEREO echoes each channel on its own, and PING-PONG starts on the left and sends successive repeats between the sides. Try PING-PONG on headphones when you want the trail to move around the recording.

Sets how much top end survives as echoes feed back into later repeats. Lower it for a darker trail that sits behind the recording, raise it for clearer repeats.

Adds a slow tape-like pitch wobble and soft saturation to the repeating trail. Raise it for a worn echo character, or keep it low for steady repeats.

For a close vocal slap, set SYNC to FREE, TIME to 100ms, FB to 10% and MIX to 15%. Try MODE at MONO, TONE at 5.0k and AGE at 0% to keep the echo centered and steady.
