17.2.2: DELAYS

Ducker Level

Ducking attenuation amount.

Ducker Level sets the amount of attenuation once the signal has exceeded the threshold. 0dB is no ducking, 18dB

is the maximum amount of ducking to the delayed signal.

Ducker Threshold

Set the input signal level at which ducking occurs.

Studio, Mono and Pong delays only. Ducking causes delay repeats to be attenuated by a variable amount when an

input signal is present. As the performance pauses, the delay signal level returns to its normal setting. This allows

the delay to remain as an eect, but not clash with the original signal. For example whilst a vocalist is singing, the

level of delay is kept down, but in the pauses the level of the repeats is brought up to provide a smooth tail to the

vocal phrases. The Ducker Threshold sets the level at which the input signal has to be at for ducking to cut in – the

higher the threshold, the louder the signal has to be for ducking to occur.

TAP 1 & 2

Tap delay time relative to displayed delay time value.

2-Tap Delay only. Sets the percentage of the indicated delay time that is used for each tap.

Tap Level

Adjusts the output level of Tap 1 and Tap 2.

Speciﬁc to the Pong Delay eect - reverses the oset set by the Tap Ratio control.

Tap Pan

Adjust the pan positions in the stereo eld of Tap 1 and Tap 2.

Modulation Depth

Control the intensity of modulation, or “depth” in the Modulated Delay.

Lower settings produce a more subtle chorus eect, while higher values give a more lush chorusing of the delay

repeats.
