UltraTap
UltraTap is a versatile multi-tap delay-line effect capable of a myriad of sounds from rhythmic and glitchy
delays, to wacky comb filtering, to huge pad-like volume swells, to unique reverbs, tremolos, and
everything in between. It’s the perfect tool for creating drum fills, vocal choruses, swelling guitar chords
and other evolving effects.
Fig. 2 UltraTap’s signal flow diagram
The UltraTap parameters detailed below affect the various signal path blocks shown above. For simplicity
only the wet path is diagrammed. Mono In / Mono Out instantiations are center panned with wet output
taken off of the left Tap Delay output shown in the diagram.
Mix: Wet/Dry mix, where 100 is an all wet signal. It has a special nonlinear taper which puts most of
the knob travel in the most usable range.
Length: Total time over which the Taps are spaced in, up to 10 seconds.
Taps: The number of delay taps, from 1 to 64.
Predelay: The amount of time before the first Tap starts, up to 1 second.
Spread: The rhythmic spacing of the taps.
Positive values will group more taps towards the end for a “speeding-up” delay sound.
Negative values will group taps towards the beginning, for a “slowing-down” feeling.
Zero results in constant spacing.
Taper: Controls the fade of the taps.
Positive values for a fade-down over the taps.
Negative values for fade-up over the taps.
Zero will result in equal gain across all taps.
