DELAY
Introduction
The G•Major holds 3 different Delay modes that
cover not only your basic needs, but also Delay
effects you until now maybe thought of as
unachievable unless hooked up with expensive
studio equipment.
Once you get the grasp of what the three
modes are used for, setting up a Delay for your
application is very easy.
Hi Cut & Lo Cut
Hi Cut and Lo Cut Feedback parameters
appear several times over the next few pages
that describes the different Delay algorithms
and to avoid having the same “long”
explanation more times than necessary
consider the
following general explanations if you need
them:
Feedback Hi Cut - General Explanation
Using the latest digital technology an extremely
precise reproduction of the Input signal for e.g.
the repeats in a Delay effect is possible.
However, for long Delay repeats on a guitar
signal this is not always desirable, as such
precise repeats can seam disturbing and result
in a less homogeneous sound.
To compensate for this try using the Hi Cut filter
thereby emulating analog or tape style delay
units.
Feedback Lo Cut - General Explanation
Using a Delay on a signal containing low
frequencies will at times add too much rumble.
If you feel this is happening you should try
dampening the low-end frequencies using the
Feedback Lo Cut parameter as an alternative to
lowering the entire Delay Mix level.
Ping Pong
With the PingPong Delay line you are able to
pan the repeats from left to right if you are
using a stereo setup. We hope you will find new
unique ways of utilizing this effect but just to
mention a few that are already popular: Try
using a PingPong Delay when smoothly fading
in chords. This will give you a true width in the
sound. Also try using the PingPong Delay type
for repeating rhythmic tricks - or for a lead tone
that you want to give a really wide sound.
Delay time
Range: 0 to 1800ms
The time between the repetitions.
Tempo
Range: 1/32T to 1 Bar or Ignored
The Tempo parameter sets the relationship to
the global Tempo.
When set to anything else than Ignored
the tempo defined by the Speed
parameter is ignored.
Feedback
Range: 0 to 100%
Determines how many repetitions there will be.
Width
Range: 0 to 10
The Width parameter determines whether the
Left or Right repetitions is panned 100% or not.
10 is the most extreme setting but also the
most disturbing in the overall sound.
Experiment with this.
FB Hi Cut - Feedback Hi Cut
Range: 2.00kHz to 20kHz
Attenuates the frequencies over the set
frequency thereby giving you a more analog
Delay sound that in many cases will blend
better in the overall sound.
FB Lo Cut
Range: 19.95Hz to 2.00kHz
Attenuates the frequencies below the set
frequency.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100%
Sets the relationship between the dry signal
and the applied effect in this block.
