Regeneration

The Regeneration section controls how the delay repeats.

Feedback

Sets the amount of the delayed signal that gets routed back to the
input of the delay, causing repeated echoes.

Note that the control goes up to 110%. Settings above 100% cause
‘positive feedback’ i.e. the delays get louder over time.

Path

In common with all ‘bucket brigade’ designs, Little Spacey uses
filters either side of the delay to remove aliasing and clock noise.

The Path setting lets you control whether the feedback goes
around the full signal path (including the filters) or just around the delay itself (not the fil-
ters).

In practice this means that the ‘inner’ path gives a relatively bright delay while the ‘outer’
path tends to lose the top end off the delays much more quickly.

Settings between ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ simply use a mixture of both feedback paths.

Colour

Allows you to lower the cut-off frequencies of the low pass filters, resulting in delays that
lose more of their high frequency components.

Mix

The Mix section controls the relative levels of the delayed and
original sounds.

Mix

The Mix settings is a simple cross-fade between the ‘dry’ sound
(the un-delayed input to the plug-in) and the ‘wet’ sound (the de-
lays themselves).

Dry Mix

Controls whether the ‘dry’ output is indeed the true dry sound or
a filtered version. The filtered version can be useful when using
fairly ‘dark’-sounding delays to match the dry sound more closely
to the delayed sound.
