Tel-Ray Delay
Inspired by the original Tel-Ray hardware from the 1960's using a tuna can,
some oil and a motor. It has a very simple set of controls but allows you to create
delays, echo, chorus, vibrato and reverb type eects. An incredibly versatile and
creative eect which has a lush and unique character.
DELAY controls the delay time. SUSTAIN controls how long the delay is sustained
for. WOB controls the amount of wobble which is caused by age and quality of
materials in the original hardware.
Decimator Delay
This is a delay eect including a decimator unit in its chain. It will decimate the
sound by reducing the sampling frequency and the bit-depth. The Decimator
Delay is a creative tool that can be used in many ways, from emulating the
aliasing noise, found in older samplers, to generating complex, low- and rough
delay lines.
Decimate the sound by adjusting the DOWNSAMPLE and BIT-REDUCE. The lter
section will help you manipulate your preferred frequencies to smooth or retain
the grittiness of the sound. The TIME, FACTOR and FEEDBACK parameters will
handle the delay behavior. The DECIMATE (PRE-POST) parameter will set the
decimation to aect the input source or the only the delay line accordingly.
Modulation Delay + Reverb
Modulation Delay combines three of the most used time modulation eects
into one easy-to-operate unit, featuring true-stereo delay with a lush chorus,
toppedo with three reverb models to choose from.
The BALANCE knob adjusts ratio of delay to reverb. The processor chain can
operate as serial where one eect ows into the next, or parallel where each
eect is applied to the source signal independently. TIME, FEED(back), LOWand
HI CUT all aect the delay. Modulation DEPTH and SPEED are adjustable.
Threetypes of reverb are available – ambience, club and hall – with adjustable
DECAY and HI DAMP.
Chorus
Chorus samples the input, slightly detunes it and mixes it with the original
signal to produce a somewhat thicker, shimmering sound. Use it to thicken up
background vocals, or to double the sound of brass and woodwind instruments.
Where as DELAY L/R set the total amount of delay for the left and right channel,
WIDTH determines the amount of modulated delay. SPEED sets the modulation
speed. MIX adjusts the balance of the dry and wet signals. You can further sculpt
the sound by trimming some of the low and high end from the eected signal
with the LO and HI CUT knobs. Additionally, the PHASE knob can tweak the
phase oset of the LFO between left and right channel and the SPREAD knob
adjusts how much of the left channel is mixed into the right and vice versa.
Finally,theWAVE knob blends between the “Danish-style” digital triangular
chorus sound and the classic analog sine wave.
Dimensional Chorus
The Dimensional Chorus oers the most user-friendly and classic sounds,
bestdescribed as “space” and “dimensional”. The 4 MODE switches can
be engaged individually or simultaneously for light chorus or very thick,
exaggerated modulation.
Flanger
The Flanger emulates the phase-shifting sound (comb-ltering) originally
created by applying pressure against the ange of the reel on a tape recorder.
This eect creates a unique “wobbly” sound that is quite dramatic when used on
vocals and instruments.
The controls of this eect are nearly identical to the Chorus eect block.
Additionally, the FEEDBACK can be adjusted with positive and negative amounts
and also band-limited with the FEED HC (high-cut) and FEED LC (low-cut) knobs.
