Parameters:

Tempo: (30:250 bpm) Tempo in beats per minute
PingPong: (yes/no) Forces Ping-pong delay times which are set from LinitDel
LinitDel: (1/32:2 notes) Left initial delay time in notes, 1/32 note resolution
RinitDel: (1/32:2 notes) Right initial delay time in notes, 1/32 note resolution
LfeedDel: (1/32:2 notes) Left feedback delay time in notes, 1/32 note resolution
RfeedDel: (1/32:2 notes) Right feedback delay time in notes, 1/32 note resolution
Llevel: (0:1 amount) Left delay level
Rlevel: (0:1 amount) Right delay level
Lfeedback: (0:1 amount) Left delay feedback
Rfeedback: (0:1 amount) Right delay feedback
EqFreq: (334:18580 Hz) Log scale frequency cutoff position
EqRes: (0:1 amount) Resonance level
EqSmooth: (0:1 amount) Smooth amount for changes in frequency and resonance
EqType: (LowPass/HighPass/BandPass/Resonant/Thru) Filter type
Dry/Wet: (0:1 mix) Dry/Wet mix 0=dry 1=wet
Level: (-Inf:6 dB) Delay Gain (0 means no gain)

As it stands the effect is really a stereo delay with separate initial delay time and feedback time for each delay. There is a switch to force it to be a ping-pong delay. The total delay buffer time is 3 seconds (at 44100Hz) for the left and right buffers (about 1.0mb total), which provides a ping pong time delay time of 1.5 seconds between left and right taps.

I have added a filter to the feedback stage so that so sound will progressively get duller(LP)/brighter(HP)/narrower(BP) with each feedback. Be careful with the resonance because with each feed back the resonant frequency gets amplified so the delay will feed back on itself. You can bypass the filter section (and save CPU) by setting the filter type to Thru.

Version 4 changes:

  • Added filter section
  • Added Dry/Wet mix level

Version 3 changes:

  • Feedback works on left pingpong
  • Delay times reflect the size of the actual delay buffer (you cannot dial a delay larger than the delay buffer).
  • BPM bounds changed to 30-250.
  • Delay bounds changed to 1/32-2.
  • Delay buffer changed to 3 seconds.
