2.1 TC 2290 Design Philosophy
Soundquality
At
t.c.
electronics
we
realised
that
there
is
a
genuine
need
for
a
digital
delay
capable
of
meeting
the
studio
demands
for
compact
disc
quality
recordings.
Also
for
live
performances
a
high
quality
delay
unit
were
missing.
A
delay
unit
capable
of
doing
better
than
‘hiss
and
clip’
of
the
precious
details
and
the
‘punchy’
parts
of
live-music.
The
vital
soundquality
of
the
TC
2290
was
specified.
Integrating Effects
A
tendency
within
digital
audio
equipment
is
an
ever
increasing
complexity,
not
only
in
the
effects
provided
but
also
in
the
control
of
them.
What
was
lacking
was
the
means
to
integrate
previous,
new
and
coming
effects
into
a
‘system’
that
can
be
set
up
and
used
in
a
simple
and
troublefree
manner.
The
inclusion
of
the
external
effects
control,
the
TC
LINK
and
MIDI
provided
the
answer
to
this.
The Future
We
also
found
that
there
is
a
need
for
a
piece
of
equipment,
that
is
capable
of
lasting
longer
than
the
typical
short
product
lifetime
of
most
delay
units.
Software
programmability
of
all
TC
2290
effects
and
control
and
the
facilities
to
add
hardware
options
provided
the
answer
to
this.
With
low-cost
software,
adding
new
effects
and
interfaces
is
possible.
Effects
and
interfaces
with
capabilities
beginning
to
appear
limitless
as
time
goes
by.
The
32
seconds
optional
delaytime
for
sampling
possibilities
is
a
‘hardware’
option
example,
others
are
future
interface
possibilities
through
a
built-in
option-bus
connector.
Reliability
Finally
the
TC
2290
had
to
be
able
to
meet
the
stringent
demands
of
an
on-the-road
life
or
24
hour
studio
use
for
many
years.
This
called
for
a
durable
construction
with
reliable
topquality
Components
for
a
lasting
and
troublefree
operational
lifetime.
Easy
serviceability
through
full
documentation
(Service
Manual)
fault-diagnostics
software
and
easy
identification
of
Components.
