Subject: Tempo synced h/w Delay
Original Message Date: 02-Aug-04 @ 03:40 AM - Tempo synced h/w Delay
Are there such units out there?
I dont want anything special, just a tempo synced delay.
How would this bad-bitch be set up? I'd assume if it would happen it would be midi..maybe clock to host sequencer on a midi output from PC..fuck knows I'm probably dead off.
Thanks alot guys

im on this too- is there a unit with a bpm display to just dial in say, 140 bpm?
doesnt have to be all singin n dancing multi fx, , just a bpm dial-up (although extra is bonus)

But, the D-Two does show BPM and is infintely adjustable... It's frankly the most specialist, coolest, awesomest delay effect in the whole wide world!
It ain't cheap, even second hand... but it's a great little number...

MIDI tempo sync is usually crap, even on high-end gear. Small disruptions in tempo do not create smooth pitch-shifted delay shifts, it creates pops and clicks. And Midi beat clock is notorious for being glitchy.
Better just to set the delay time yourself. If you need one that can do a gliding delay time, hmmm... better get a PCM42... Or a plugin

altho...I really never had a problem with the delays I used (only FX I had were a boss VF-1, Alesis Q2V2, lexicon MPX100 and the delays on my old O1v...)
I dunno...we're too picky about timing nowadays anyway

Although the M-One is nice for flange and chorus

y'know you can always record a copy of the part and manualy paste it in to an audio track with a fade oiut happeing with each repeat and physicaly create your own delays by using those pasted audio repeat parts.

man, my favorite delays (honest) are when I take the time to step write midi notes with dramatically lowered velocities... then my "delays" do whatever I want...
What's coolest about the d-two is you can tap in a beat for your delays to follow... so it's a simple sampler (well, all digital delays are) but you can get some mad ping-ponging effects going if you can tap in time...
hell, guys, digital reverbs are just delay as well... all the spatial digital effects are, reverb, chorus, flange, phaser... they're all models that use delay to do what they do.

a h/w box you might like.. migth even have a midi sync, don't remember - the old roland/boss fx racks like the se50 and that 1u blue unit.. great delays, eg. a 5 tap multidelay.. all values set with tiny yamaha-esque tappy buttons so you can dial in a discrete bpm if you hold the little button down a lot. they're the delay bargain.
