Dry Bal (Balance) is the left/right balance of the dry signal. At -100%, only the left dry
signal goes to the left output, while at 100% only the right dry signal passes to the right
output, and at 0%, equal amounts of the left and right dry signals pass to their respective
outputs.
Tapn Level is the level of each numbered tap, from 0% to 100%, relative to the overall
output of the eect.
Tapn Bal is the left/right balance of each of the numbered taps. At -100%, only the left
channel of tap n goes to the left output, while at 100% only the right channel of tap n goes
to the right output. At 0%, equal amounts of the left and right channels of the tap pass to
their respective outputs. In some delays, pairs of taps (1 and 5, 2 and 6, etc.) are controlled
together as stereo pairs.
DelayScale lets you change the lengths of all the taps together. Its range is 0 to 10x.
Note: It is possible for the Forte to run out of delay memory with over-generous
settings of DelayScale or very slow Tempos. Some Delay eects will simply go
to a maximum value and stay there, while in some, a calculation is made that
automatically cuts the delay times in half, thereby maintaining a relationship with
tempo.
Complex Echo
is eect has two feedback taps per channel as well as three independent taps, and also
a feedback diuser for “smearing” the delays. Feedback line 1 feeds the signal back to the
delay input of the same channel, while feedback line 2 feeds the signal back to the opposite
channel.
FB2/FB1>FB is a balance control between feedback lines 1 and 2. 0% (minimum) turns o
feedback line 2, only allowing use of feedback line 1. 50% is an even mix of both lines, and
100% (maximum) turns o line 1.
L Di Dly and R Di Dly adjusts the delay lengths of the diusers. Range is 0 to 100 ms.
Di Amt adjusts the diuser intensity. Range is 0 to 100%.
C Fdbk n Dly adjusts the delay length of the C channel’s nth feedback tap, fed back to the C
channel’s delay input. Range is 0 to 2600 ms.
Spectral Multitap Delays
ese 4- and 6-tap delays have their feedback and output taps modied with shapers and
lters. In the feedback path of each tap are a diuser, hipass lter, lopass lter, and imager.
Each delay tap has a shaper, comb lter, and balance and level controls.
