Delay Effects
Delay provides a discrete repetition of a signal. By adding feedback within the effect,
the delayed signal can repeat many times, with each successive decay softer than its
predecessor. Each of the Delay types allow you to adjust their delay time in
milliseconds, however, the BPM Delay effect will display the equivalent musical
tempo in BPM (beats per minute). MidiVerb 4 offers the following types of delay:
Mono Delay
This Single Configuration provides delay of signal up to 1299 ms. The delay time can
be adjusted separately by 100ths, 10ths and 1 ms increments. Feedback is also
available to increase the complexity of the signal. You also have high and low
frequency cutting, which gives you the ability to equalize the effect’s decay. This can
help emulate an old tape-style echo where each succesive echo is darker than the
previous one.
Stereo Delay
This Single Configuration provides two separate delays which can be individually
adjusted for delay time, feedback and high and low cutting. The delay time can be
adjusted separately by 100ths, 10ths and 1 ms increments.
Ping Pong Delay
So called because the output bounces from left to right in stereo with the speed
determined by the delay time. Again, low and high frequency cut is available. The
delay time can be adjusted separately by 100ths, 10ths and 1 ms increments.
MultiTap Delay
This is like having three delays at once. Each of the 3 “taps” have individual delay,
level, panning and feedback controls. By adjusting the delay time of each tap, you
can create sophisticated rhythms.
BPM Mono Delay
This is a mono delay which can have its delay time parameter set to a specific tempo
or BPM (beats per minute) value. This allows you to reference the delay time to the
tempo of the music you are playing, rather than searching for the correct delay time
in milliseconds.
An additional parameter, called Note, is used to determine what beat value your
tempo represents. For example, if you set the note to 4, then you can set the tempo
using quarter-note beats to establish delay time. If instead you set the Note to 4t, the
same delay tempo setting will play faster because it is simulating quarter-note
triplets in relation to the selected tempo. You can also choose dotted-note values,
such as 4d or 8d for different rhythms relative to the selected tempo.
