Gotta say, this effect is awesome.
Is it basically a multitap delay? Sounded cool in John’s demo.
Played with it for a few minutes this morning. I really liked it right off the bat. Need to dig in some more.
Can’t figure out how to use it. Can’t find any instructions anywhere for it. I switch through the different taps and nothing changes.
are you hearing any repeats? Increase the mix level and feedback settings, and set a slower tempo to hear them more clearly; each tap setting should create that many repeats in sequence. You might even want to experiment with setting the mix level to 100% so you ONLY hear the repeats, to see how they change.
If none of that is making an audible difference, you might need to use Recovery Mode to reset settings on the QC
Sorry I wasn’t clearer. I do get sound. Of a single tap. I was hoping it was a multitap delay. But I can find no way to set multiple taps up. It’s one tap at a time. Which any delay can do, of course.
Isn’t there a place somewhere where each effect is elaborated upon (i.e. an instruction manual for each effect)? I can’t seem to find it if it’s out there.
unfortunately there aren’t descriptions of the fx functions, aside from the Deep Dive videos NDSP puts out after each update. The manual could definitely use improvement in that area.
However, this one is pretty straight-forward; the Tap Preset # is how many times the full signal is duplicated, and what the spacing will be between those repeats.
I guess maybe you are looking for a Multi-tap where each tap has its own settings independently? If so, then this probably isn’t strictly that kind of multi-tap; it’s more of a fixed-repeats single delay
If you want full control of all settings with multiple taps, you’ll pretty much still need to stack several delays on the grid.
Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me. How is this delay different than others, other than, I guess, having what appears to be a sort of detented range of delay-time settings on the one knob?
the video above should start at the circ delay section- it shows pretty good demonstrations of how the fixed repeats circulate and the differences between the settings.
Basically, it’s designed to produce ‘patterns’ of repeats- you can have various syncopated rhythms depending on how many repeats you choose, and the spacings of those repeats (the ‘alt’ versions). If you reduce the ‘feedback’ setting to 0, you will really hear the delay create a ‘chunk’ of however many repeats are selected. Single delays can’t really make such a specific copy of limited repeats. It also circulates those repeats across the stereo spread- different from ping-ponging in that it gradually pans instead of back-and-forth immediately.
Hope that’s helping some
Great! I guess I didn’t understand what you were saying about what that knob does. Should have watched the video. Thanks so much for your help.
