notes. For example, selecting 4 delays the signal by four 16th notes, which equals one
beat (a quarter note) of delay.
If the Sync switch is off, the delay time reverts to milliseconds. In this case, to edit the delay
time, click and drag up or down in the Delay Time eld, or click in the eld and type in a
value.
The Feedback parameter denes how much of each channel's output signal feeds back into
the delay lines' inputs. Internally, they are two independent feedback loops, so a signal on
the left channel does not feed back into the right channel and vice versa.
The Dry/Wet control adjusts the balance between the processed and dry signals. Set it to
100 percent when using Simple Delay in a return track.
Changing the delay time while Simple Delay is processing audio can cause abrupt changes
in the sound of the delayed signal. You can choose between three delay transition modes
via the (PC) /
(Mac) context menu of the device's title bar:
Repitch causes a pitch variation when changing the delay time, similar to the behavior
of old hardware delay units.
Fade creates a crossfade between the old and new delay times. This sounds similar
to time stretching if the delay time is gradually changed. Fade mode is the default
option.
Jump immediately jumps to the new delay time. Note that this will cause an audible
click if the delay time is changed while delays are sounding. Jump mode corresponds
to the default behavior prior to Live 8. When loading Sets that were made in earlier
versions, Jump will be selected automatically.
