The maximum delay length for any of the tap outputs is four seconds. This means that the 2-measure setting

of the GRID SIZE knob is mostly useful at tempos above 120bpm, since two measures equals four seconds at
this tempo.

6. Mix

The MIX knob controls the relative amounts of the original, unprocessed (dry) signal and the processed (wet)
signal in Ricochet's output. Use this knob to control the overall amount of the effect. When the knob is rotated
fully anti-clockwise, you'll hear only the original signal. As you rotate the knob clockwise, the amount of wet
signal increases and the amount of dry signal decreases. At the center "12 o'clock" position, there is an equal
amount of wet and dry signal in the output. If you rotate the knob fully clockwise, you'll hear only the
processed signal.

7. Output Level

The OUTPUT LEVEL knob adjusts the overall loudness of Ricochet’s output. It affects the unprocessed and
processed signals equally. As you rotate the knob clockwise, Ricochet’s output becomes louder. Use this knob
to either tame excessively loud signals (which can be produced with high settings of the feedback knob) or to
boost quiet signals (which can be produced with filter settings that remove most of the input signal). The
control has a range of -40dB, which will silence all but the loudest signals, to +6dB, which will apply a gentle
amount of amplification.

8. Chorus, Saturation, and Filter Controls

Ricochet has a chorus processor in addition to its delays. The chorus processor can be used to thicken the
delayed sound and make it more spacious. The controls for the chorus processor are found on the Effects

Control panel which appears when you click the MOD button near the lower-left corner of Ricochet’s window.
