Delay
Essentials
Delay is a digital delay effect that plays back incoming audio with a defined delay time. Creates rhythmic repeats and echoes with tempo sync, feedback, and wet/dry controls. Use it for rhythmic patterns, spatial depth, or subtle thickening of sounds.
Tempo-synced delay for rhythmic patterns
Feedback and wet/dry controls
Rhythmic repeats and echoes
Spatial effects and subtle thickening
Perfect for synths, drums, vocals, and more

|---|---|
Delay time |
Time between repeats (quantized to musical values). Step count × step length determines effective delay time. |
Steps |
Count of delay steps (1-7). Combined with step length to set total delay time. |
Step length |
Length of each delay step: 1/16 bars, 1/8T bars, or 1/8 bars |
F.Back |
Feedback amount (0-100%). How much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay line. Higher values create more repeats. |
Mix |
Balance between dry and wet signals (0-100%). 0 = 100% dry (no effect), 100% = 100% wet (full effect). |
Practical Tips
Practical Tips
Start with 1/4 or 1/8 for common grooves.
Avoid clutter in dense mixes.
A 50/50 mix adds space without overwhelming.
