THE BLOCKS
QUAD TAP DELAY
Quad Tap Delay
Tap 1-4
Sets the delay time of the four taps. Maximum delay
time per tap is 1480 ms.
Tempo 1-4
The Tempo parameter sets the relationship to the
global Tempo e.g. if you set it to 1/4T you will get
quarter note triplets of the tapped tempo. 1/4 equals
the BPM (tapped Tempo).
If you select “Ignored” the current parameter will use
the Preset value and will not be affected by the Global
Tempo.
Feedback 1-4
Adjusts the amount of Feedback from each of the four
taps.
NOTE: The sum of the four feedbacks are limited to
100%.
Levels 1-4
Sets the level of each of the four taps.
Pan position 1-4
Controls the panning of the four Delay taps.
Lowcut 1-4
Cuts off frequencies lower than the selected. The slope
of the filter is 12dB/octave.
Highcut 1-4
Cuts off frequencies higher than the selected
frequency. So if you feel that there is too much treble in
your signal, you remove this by adjusting the highcut
filter down. The slope of the filter is 12dB/octave.
Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the Delay block
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.
The Drive
The Drive block
The Drive is a post distortion. It can be used for effects
purposes like overdriving a Delay, a Flanger or a
Phaser etc. or simply to crank the overall sound a bit.
Drive
The Drive parameter is simulating the In-gain of a
distortion device. The extra In-gain is automatically
compensated on the Output level, to avoid any clipping
internally.
Brightness
Brightness is used to reduce the amount of high
frequency content in the distorted signal. The
Brightness control is flat when set to 100%.
Body
Body is used to reduce the amount of low frequency
content in the distorted signal. At heavy distortion the
Drive will emphasize a lot of low frequencies, which
can be somewhat annoying. These problems can be
reduced by the Body parameter. A number of preamps
and pedals on the market combine a lowcut filter with
their In-gain to compensate for the exact same
problem.
Smasher
The Smasher is used to change the character of the
distortion by emphasizing even order harmonics.
Setting this parameter to a high value, will smash your
signal. Try to experiment with the character of your
distortion.
