The Stereo Delay is, in fact, two individual BBD-based analog delays that
share certain parameters. In the Matriarch signal path, the Stereo Delay is
positioned after VCA 1 and VCA 2, and before the MAIN AUDIO outputs.
MODULE PROVENANCE: Matriarch’s Stereo Delay module is based on the
Moog 500 Series Analog Delay module.
TIME
This parameter sets the initial delay time for both Delay 1 and Delay 2.
The range is from 35 milliseconds with the TIME knob rotated fully
counterclockwise, to 780 milliseconds with the TIME knob rotated fully
clockwise. The LED indicator below the TIME knob will flash at the current
Time setting.
TIP: Utilizing Tap Tempo or through patching, much longer Delay Times can be
achieved. This will result in noisy or “lo-fi” delay trails that may or may not be desirable.
NOTE: When Matriarch is sync’d to an internal or external clock, rotating the TIME
knob will adjust the delay time in divisions or multiplications of the clock rate (BPM).
SPACING
The SPACING knob creates an offset in the delay time of Delay 1 relative to
Delay 2. This knob is bipolar, so in the center position the timing of Delay 1 and
Delay 2 remain the same. Turning this knob clockwise from center increases (+)
the delay time of Delay 1 relative to Delay 2. Turning this knob counterclockwise
from center decreases (-) the delay time of Delay 1 relative to Delay 2.
NOTE: When Matriarch is sync’d to an external clock, rotating the SPACING knob will
adjust the delay time of Delay 1 in divisions or multiplications of the clock rate (BPM).
NOTE: If the TIME knob is already at its highest level, raising the value of the SPACING
knob may have little eect.
