REAKTOR SPARK – 29
4.8 Mod Delay Section
With the modulation delay you can add echo or chorus effects to the instrument.
The Mod Delay effect is a tempo synchronizable stereo delay with LFO, cross-feedback, high-
pass and lowpass filters.
The
t
iMe
K
nob
sets the delay time in milliseconds. This is the mean delay time since there
can be a delay time offset between the left and right channel. This offset is controlled by the
D
elay
lr o
FFSet
K
nob
.
It sets the ratio between the delay times of the left and of the right
channel.
When
D
elay
F
eeDbacK
is nonzero and the Delay
t
iMe
value is small, changing the
D
elay
lr
o
FFSet
K
nob
changes the distribution of the sound in the stereo field. In order to synchronize
the Delay Time to the tempo specified by the host or by REAKTOR, the
D
elay
S
ync
b
utton
can be activated. When
D
elay
S
ync
is on, the value display will display the rate of the echoes
as a multiple of the BPM tempo. The strength and longevity of the echoes are controlled with
the
D
elay
Fb K
nob
. It sets the amount of feedback from the delay output to its input. Turning
on the
i
nVert
b
utton
inverts the feedback signal. At short delays it makes a big difference
to the sound of the mixed signal if the feedback signal is inverted. The
i
n
K
nob
controls the
amount of input signal entering the Mod Delay effect. If an echo is sounding at the output of
the delay, turning the
i
n
K
nob
down will not turn down the echo, but let it naturally fade out.
The
x a
Mt
c
ontroller
determines the amount of the feedback that is routed crosswise from
the right delay output to the left delay input and vice versa. Use this to diffuse the sound
in the stereo field, for a reverb-like effect with short
D
elay
t
iMe
settings. The Mod Delay ef-
fect has a stereo LFO as its delay time modulation source. Chorus effects can be achieved
when the
D
epth
K
nob
value is not too large.
D
epth
controls the amount of LFO modulation
applied to the delay time. The rate of the LFO is determined by the setting of the
r
ate
K
nob
.
