Clean
The Clean Delay effect is the most simple and basic
delay type in the NOVA System. It comprises a single
delay line with all the common parameters.
All Common Parameters
Please refer to the section “Delay – Introduction” for a
description of this Delay’s parameters.
Analog
This delay simulates analog style delays, including the
clipping sound that occurs when the feedback parameter
is yanked past the 100% point. Try experimenting with a
high feedback level combined with high and low cut
filters.
In addition to the “common” parameters described in
the introduction of the delay section, this delay has
the following parameters:
Drive
Range: 0 to 24 dB
Use this parameter to simulate the slight deterioration of
the delay repeats due to clipping.
Tape
This delay includes the “Drive” parameter that can be
used to add the saturation to the delay repeats often
associated with Tape delays.
In addition to the “common” parameters described in
the introduction of the delay section, this delay has
the following parameters:
Drive
Range: 0 to 24 dB
The higher you set the Drive parameter, the more
distorted the repeats become. The “drive” simulated by
this effect has a very “analog” feel.
Ping Pong
The Ping Pong delay causes the delay to alternate
between the left and right channels, resulting a very nice
stereo feel. Use the Width parameter to determine how
“stereo” you want this effect to be.
In addition to the “common” parameters described in
the introduction of the delay section, this delay has
the following parameters:
Width
Range: 0 to 100%
The Width parameter determines how far the left and
right repetitions should spread from the center.
Dynamic Delay
The Dynamic Delay is a feature that was initially
introduced in the well-recognized TC 2290. It allows the
dynamics of the Input level to actively alter the delay
output level, which leaves the source signal clear and
undisturbed while you play. The Dynamic Delay
delicately complements your performance.
Use the Sense parameter to determine when the delays
should re-surface. Use the Offset parameter to widen the
stereo image.
In addition to the “common” parameters described in
the introduction of the delay section, this delay has
the following parameters:
Offset
Range: 0 to 200
This parameter offsets the delay repeats in the right
channel only. For a “wide” stereo effect, the delay in the
two channels should not occur at exactly the same time.
For a “wide” effect, a few milliseconds should do the
trick. Using more than that will give you anything from a
generous slap-back effect on the repeats to more
extreme effects.
