Audio Damage Ronin - Manual (Page 36)

Delay 1 is set up for interactive looping. The Sync switch is on so that the length of the loop is determined by
your sequencer’s tempo, which should be set to some moderate value like 120bpm. The Loop switch is turned
on so that audio recorded in the loop will play indefinitely.
Delay 2 is set to a very short delay time. Outputs 1 and 2 are panned slightly left and right. This creates a
stereo chorusing effect, since the left and right outputs of the plug-in are delayed slightly with respect to each
other. We use both LFOs to modulate the delay time of delay 2, to add motion to the chorus effect. The LFOs
are set to different frequencies and somewhat different wave shapes. Mixing both LFOs together makes the
chorus effect less repetitive.
Play a short phrase on your instrument (or say something into your mic). You’ll hear the audio playing over
and over. If you don’t like what you hear, turn the Loop switch off, wait ‘til the last repetition of the loop has
played, then turn it back on.
Turn delay 1’s Fine slider all the way counter-clockwise. You’ll hear the loop slow down to half its original
speed, playing one octave lower. Turn on the Reverse switch. You’ll hear the loop playing backwards, still one
octave lower.
Play another phrase. The new phrase will be overdubbed on the loop.
Hold down the CTRL key on your computer’s keyboard and click the Fine slider to return it to its default, center
position. Now you’ll hear the first phrase playing at its original speed and pitch, but still backwards, and the
new phrase playing at twice its original speed and pitch.
Click the Reverse button. Now you’ll hear the first phrase as you originally recorded it, and the new phrase
playing backwards at twice its original speed and pitch.
Repeat as desired. We used only one of the two delays for looping, and used the second one to create a
chorus effect just for the sake of illustration. Of course you can use both delays for looping, building up a new
phrase in one while the other continues to loop.
