It's not a preset but by moving knobs. And knobs are often a matter of use with automation. At one point I might want a vibrato on the delay and at other I'd would want clean signal without mod. So I would automate that but would fail because it is not responded. I checked it once again and it seems it just takes a lot of time to reach the max amplitude of the mod depth as well as to fall back to 0. It's like sliding, but very very slow. I don't like it as if I needed a slow change in depth I would just slowly move the depth knob. But with this slow slide I have no possibility to have fast change in the mod depth.

By the way, just used a sine to test this mod depth and the plugin has a huge saturation going on. Can it be optional too, so we could had the delay with or without saturation by our wish?
Here is a video showing there is a saturation and that the mod depth knob changing happens with very very slow slide like 6 seconds.

This saturation might be the reason feedback accumulating on the high freqs.
Ah yes, thanks. That video helps a lot. The modulation depth parameter is passed through a smoothing filter to smooth out sudden jumps in value that can cause undesirable artifacts. The smoothing time is a few seconds long which is why you see the gradual change to the desired mod depth. Not sure I would want to change that as it keeps the modulations smoother overall.

The saturation spikes are probably (?) a result of some interpolation noise in the delay lines. Will have to investigate that. Thanks.
