ATMOSYNTH

Delay

ATMOSYNTH built-in module

Repeats what passes through it. Delay time is how long a repeat waits, Feedback how much of it goes round again — the repeats die away unless that is near 1, where they will not. Dry level is what came in and Wet level the repeats, summed rather than crossfaded, so each is set on its own. Delay time is an input as well as a knob: a slow LFO into Time bends the repeats as they move, which is where chorus and flanging come from. The tail outlives the note that made it, so give this one instance for the whole patch — after the mixer, or declared shared — or each note takes its own repeats with it when it ends. Feedback and Wet are inputs too, each with a depth for how far a signal there moves it. Feedback is held inside the knob's own range however hard its input pushes, so a modulated delay can swell towards endless repeats and never past them into a runaway.

Four notes played on Keys, passing through it on their way out.

What it is made of

Ports: audio input ‘In’, audio input ‘Time’, audio input ‘Feedback’, audio input ‘Wet’, audio output ‘Out’.

  • ‘in’: audio input · port in · into ‘dry’ · into ‘dl’
  • ‘dry’: Gain · into ‘out’ · level turned by ‘Dry level’
  • ‘dl’: Delay · longest delay 2 · into ‘fb’ · into ‘wet’ · delay time turned by ‘Delay time (s)’
  • ‘fb’: Gain · into ‘dl’
  • ‘wet’: Gain · into ‘out’ · level turned by ‘Wet level’
  • ‘timein’: audio input · port time · into ‘timedepth’
  • ‘timedepth’: Gain · modulates the delay time of ‘dl’ · level turned by ‘Time depth (s)’
  • ‘out’: audio output · port out
  • ‘feedbackin’: audio input · port feedback · into ‘feedbackdepth’
  • ‘feedbackbase’: Constant · into ‘feedbackclamp’ · value turned by ‘Feedback’
  • ‘feedbackdepth’: Gain · into ‘feedbackclamp’ · level turned by ‘Feedback depth’
  • ‘feedbackclamp’: Waveshaper · modulates the level of ‘fb’
  • ‘wetin’: audio input · port wet · into ‘wetdepth’
  • ‘wetdepth’: Gain · modulates the level of ‘wet’ · level turned by ‘Wet depth’
  • ‘Delay time (s)’: knob, 0.003 to 2 s
  • ‘Time depth (s)’: knob, -0.05 to 0.05
