Moog Music MF-104Z Analog Delay - Manual (Page 7)

Performance parameters are controls that are meant to be played
during performance. Each of the MF-104Z's performance parameters
is controlled both by a front panel knob and by a pedal/control jack
on the rear panel. The parameters are MIX, DELAY TIME, and
FEEDBACK
..
MIX
control: As you turn the MIX knob clockwise from 0 to 5, the
delayed signal becomes louder while the direct signal remains at
maximum volume. Then, as you turn the MIX knob from 5 to 10, the
delayed signal remains at maximum volume while the direct signal
decreases to silence. This characteristic gives a natural-sounding mix
for most music signals.
If you're applying a sustained steady pitch to the MF-104Z and the
MIX
control is set near midposition, you may find that the direct and
delayed signals alternately reinforce and cancel each other in rapid
succession as the delay time is varied. This is a normal result of
mixing a steady pitch with a delayed replica of itself. It is the analog-
delay equivalent of `standing waves' in a reverberant room.
DELAY TIME
control: With the
SHORT/LONG
switch set on
SHORT
, the delay time will vary
from 50 milliseconds to 500
milliseconds as the DELAY TIME
knob is turned clockwise. Note that
the knob is calibrated directly in
time (seconds).
With the SHORT/LONG switch set
on LONG, the DELAY TIME knob
will vary the delay time from 100
milliseconds to 1000 milliseconds.
FEEDBACK
control: There is no
feedback when the FEEDBACK
knob is on 0. The feedback increases
as you turn the knob clockwise.
When the knob is around 8, the
echoes will sustain indefinitely for
