DELAY Function
Delay is a reproduction of the input signal, occurring at a prescribed time (usually expressed in milliseconds) following the
input signal. The Taboo Twin provides two discrete delays (Delay 1 and Delay 2), each of which has its own parameters to
determine its particular characteristics.
The P ARAMETER S ELECT control will allow you to access the following DELAY parameters:
Parameter Description
DELAY The DELAY parameter determines whether the Delay is active or muted for the current preset.
MUTE TYPE The MUTE TYPE parameter allows for muting the delay at its input (PRE), its output (POST) or
BOTH.
Muting the input (PRE) of the delay will not allow any signal to enter 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 allow you to 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 will result in the delayed signal being immediately turned
off when the delay is switched out. This means that delays and regeneration will not continue
when the delay is switched out. If the output were not muted, signals that were input before the
delay was switched out would be allowed to regenerate, even after switching out the delay.
It is also possible to mute both the input and the output (BOTH) so that no signal enters or exits
the Delay section when it is not switched in.
DELAY LVL The DELAY LEVEL parameter determines the overall level of the delayed signal at the output
relative to the direct signal and other effect signals. This parameter can also be accessed from the
mixer function parameter list.
MIX The MIX parameter is used to define the ratio of Source 1 signal to Source 2 signal to be input to
the delay section. Source 1 is the Voice 1 output from the previous effect in the signal chain
(chorus, flanger, etc.), while Source 2 may be the Voice 2 output from the previous effect in the
signal chain or the direct signal (selectable via the SOURCE 2 parameter).
In configurations where there is no effect immediately preceding the delay, Source 1 and Source 2
will be the preamp output (direct) signal.
