C. DELAY SECTION
Delay is simply a reproduction of the input signal, originating at a prescribed time (usually expressed in
milliseconds, or mS) following the input signal.
DELAY TYPES
The Intellifex LTD HUSH; Delay; Ducker configuration offers 3 delay types:
Stereo, Ping-Pong and 2-Tap.
The Stereo delay type provides two separate delays. This delay type is used for
applications requiring two discrete delay lines with individual regeneration loops.
The Ping-Pong delay type regenerates each delay’s output into the opposite
delay’s input instead of its own. This causes the delayed signals to bounce back and
forth from the left channel to the right (provided the delay outputs are panned left and
right).
The 2-Tap delay type provides a single long delay line with two outputs and
offers twice the delay time of the Stereo delay type.
DELAY PARAMETERS
Delay
This parameter determines whether the Delay section is active (passing a
signal) or muted (not passing a signal).
Mute Type
This parameter allows for muting of the Delay section at its input (Pre), its
output (Post) or both.
Muting the input (Pre) of the Delay restricts any signal from entering the delay
section until the delay is switched in. When using a moderate amount of
regeneration, switching out the delay with the input muted will generate a
non-delayed signal which will play over the decaying regenerated signal
which continues on after the delay is switched out.
Muting the output (Post) of the delay results in the delayed signal being imme-
diately turned off when the delay is switched out. This means that delays and
regeneration will not continue once the delay is switched out. If the output
were not muted, signals input before switching the delay out would be al-
lowed to regenerate - even after switching out the delay.
It is also possible to mute both the input and output (Both) so that no signal
enters or exits the Delay section when it is not switched in.
Level 1 and Level 2
These are individual level controls for each of the two delays available in the
Delay section. These are not the same as the Delay Level parameter found in
the Mixer function (which adjusts the overall level of both delay signals).
