After using the QC live, I’ve had several instances where have to tap tempo in the middle of a song.
This results in natural pitch fluctuations inherent when changing the time setting on a delay.
On the helix and other digital delay pedals, there is an option for “transparent” tempo, which shifts without causing these artifacts and fluctuations.
This should be a setting where users can opt to have this apply or not.
I concur… having said this, never had a unit do this. Could open the doors to some interesting sonic explorations, but agree, standard should be transparent
Yes please. This would be so helpful. I love the toe delay sounds but can barely use love for fear of making a weird noise. I know these can be cool but not always in a quiet moment or during a song intro.
Quite upset this hasn’t been added… I tap tempo MIDI every set i play and more often then not whilst I am playing. The pitch change is extremely jarring.
But PLEASE make this selectable. I use Delays like in DUB or Reggae music. Love, play and use exatly this Pitch shifting as an integral Part of my sound.
I know AXE FX once made it not Pitch shift and many (me included) wanted that Feature back. Not it can do both (in a stupid way implemented but still)
The digital delay and dual delay are the only current options which offer seamless tempo changes. This is very limiting and is a bummer because I love analog and tape echo. The QC tape and analog delays aren’t as magical as some of my experiences with Strymon products yet, but I could enjoy the QC delays if only I could make seamless tempo transitions. I personally don’t have the luxury of the dead air that happens when switching presets- I need to have sustain of sound between song transitions which limits me to one preset. Last time I tried to use an analog delay it made several of the vocalists laugh out loud when I changed the tempo eg. the comical speeding up or slowing down of what was being echoed.
