Zebra2 delay bug?

[pdxindy]

I was playing with the ratio controls on the delay on an ep sort of sound. When I would put them all the way towards 0 or 200 the sound would feedback out of control. Is this a bug?

[wonshu]

Are you talking about the mix parameter in the delays? If so at 0 there should be no sound coming out of the delay at all while at 200 yes, it should feeback, that's a feature.

[pdxindy]

no, I mean the ratio control... there is pan and ratio for each of the 4 delay lines.

[wonshu]

Yeah, I'm getting that effect at 0 ratio, not at 200 though...

Delay time getting toward zero percent becomes very short indeed ! With any feedback present you will cause a howl through the rig. Same as any delay line...

I understood the ratio to work like so:

If you set delay time to 1/4

ratio - 100 = 1/4
ratio - 0 = 1/8
ratio - 200 = 1/2
ratio - 150 = dotted 1/4
ratio - 50 = dotted 1/8

so setting ratio to 0, should not create some wierd overload.

Hiya, here it is:

Delay time = 1/4

ratio 50 : 1/8
ratio 75 : dotted 1/8
ratio 25 : 1/16
ratio 0 : minimum of 4 samples

aha... thanks for the clarification...

so 125 would be dotted 1/4 ?


edit: nevermind... I looked at the online manual... 150 would be dotted 1/4

[Urs]

Yes, a dotted 1/8 is 75% of a quarter, a dotted quarter is twice as long and thus 150%

You gotta think of ratio as a percentage of the delay time. A quarter takes 0.5 seconds at 120 bpm, while a dotted quarter takes 0.75 seconds. Thus it's 150% of 0.5 seconds...

Z2 delay bug? No, I'm not bugged yet by the Z2 delay. I just can't wait for it to be released
