Jacks

The jacks are grouped by the

type and direction (into or out of the

module) of the relevant signal. The

VCA jacks are just labeled “VCA”,

as the function of each is already

described by what row they are in.

CV in

Rate: Quirk warning: Rate

CV behavior is inverted. Negative

increases rate, positive decreases. If

that bugs you too much, just think of it as the delay CV input and the issue

magically disappears! Positive increases the delay, and negative decreases

the delay.

Feedback: This works normally, positive CV increases feedback, negative

decreases same.

VCA: Same as feedback, positive CV increases the output level, negative

attenuates it.

Signal in

Input: This is kind of important for a delay unit: you need a signal to delay,

or else they’re somewhat dull effects. This is the jack where that signal is input

into the delay.

Insert: This is the feedback loop insert breakjack. Inserting a plug here

will disconnect the output of the delay cell from the input of the feedback

cell, with the inserted signal now going directly to the feedback gain cell.

One use for this is to insert an effect – or even another delay unit (yes,

they can be daisy-chained quite effectively) – into the feedback loop. To do this,

patch the Delay out into the desired effect, and the output of the effect into the

Insert jack. You may need to adjust the Insert level control (see above) for best

sound.

VCA: This is another breakjack. The input of the VCA is normalized

(normally connected to) the Mix output. Inserting a jack here breaks that

connection, enabling the VCA to be used completely independently of the rest

of the module.

Output

Clean: A buffered and inverted copy of the input signal.
Delay: The buffered & scaled output of the delay cell
Mix: A linear mix of the Clean and Delay signals, the balance of which

is set by the Mix control pot.

VCA: Output of the VCA.
