DELAY
The
delay
lunclion
consists
of a bank of
pushbutton
switches. including
a
lull
memory inlinite
repeat and
a delay lactor
adjusl control.
'
DELAY
FACTOR:
The
delay factor varies the
basic ctock
frequency ihat
determines the delay thereby
acting as
a
manual
delay adjust.
The
extreme set-
tings are 0.25 and 1.0.
Each line represnts
a change ol approximately 0.05. The
*lected
delay
(via pushbulton)
can be multiplied
by
ihe delay lactor
stting to
calculate the actual
delay.
'
FLANGE: Three white
pushbuttons
are usd
to
select
short time delays used
tor flanging
ertects.
The
range ol each button can
be
varied
by
the
DELAY
FAC-
TOR
or
the MOOULATOFI
controls.
The
ranges
are as
lollows:
Hl 0.25 ms to

'
DOUBLE: The
gray pushbution
selecls the
delay
range
suitable
lor
doubling
etfects.
The
delay range varies lrom 16
ms to 64 ms.
'
ECHO: The
black
pushbutton
on the ADM 256 selects
delays
which
create
echos
-
audible
repeats.
The range
ol delay
is
64 ms lo 256 ms. The ADM 1024
provides
two
black bullons which
expand the Gpability
ol
the
system.
The range
o,
the ADM 1024
SHORT ECHO is
64 ms to 256 ms. The range
of the LONG
ECHO is
256 ms to
1024
ms.
'
CAUTION: When
all the
delay buttons are in the
OUT
position,
the memory
is bypased
and there is virtually no
delay
in
the
ouiput signal It the OELAY MtX
is
sl
at
-50% delay/source.
the output
signal
will virtually
be emelled. By
depre$in9 a delay button, ihe
signal will b€ restored.

Al

various

there is no fedback
-
hence, no

MODULATOR
The
ADM 256/1024 has
a
precision
inlernal VCO
(voltage
controlled
oscillelor)
which is cmtrolled
by
an
LFO
(low
lrequency
o$illator). The LFO
cmlrols
make
up
the MODULATOR *clion ol the
,ront
panel.

WIDTH:
The width control wries the srvesp
of th€ intemal osillator.
ln the

the delay limes vary from less

the
pushbution
delay stting, allowing
two Glaves ot swoep. Should any satting

be used, the
DELAY
FACTOR control should be adiusted to set
the desired

The WIDTH
control should be st to the 0
pGi-
tion il the LFO is not being usd and acurate delay tires are required.
The wIDTH

such as a

range.
'
SPEEDT The speed control varies
lhe rale of
modulation o, the inlemal oscil-
lator from approximatelv 0.1 Hz
to
10

OUTPUT
The output level is not adjustable. The
output signal
level varies
only
with
lhe
input signal level
and

'
DELAY MIX: The
processed
signal
can be mixed
in
or out of
pha*
with
the
source via the delay mix
control.
. . . At
-1009o,
lhe output coosists
o,
only the delayed signal
(out-ol-phas€).
. . At -50o/o.
the outpul consists
o,
equal amounts of source and out-of-phas
delayed signal.
.

.At
SOUBCE, the output consists
only
of the

signal.
. . . At

the

ihe

INFINITE
REPEAT
'
INFINITE REPEAT: The red
pushbutton
is used to recirculate the data stored
in the ,ull memory
ol
the
unit. On
lhe ADM
256
the ,ull memory varies from 64 ms
to
256 ms
depending
on
the OELAY
FACTOR adjust.
Similarly.
the ADM 1024 full

varies
from
256 ms
to

024 ms. lt is
possible
to synchronize the start o,
the
