The Environment

Delay Line Object

The delay line echoes MIDI events passing through it—at intervals ranging from one
tick to 256 whole notes.

There are parameters for the number of echoes, (echo) transposition and velocity
offset.

The echoes of each incoming event are cycled through each cabled output of the delay
line.

Important:

Logic’s transport must be running for the delay line to work.

To create a new Delay Object, select New > Delay Line.

This Object repeats any MIDI events, much like a delay line effect. Pitch and velocity
offsets can be added to note events. As with the arpeggiator, you will need to place the
delay line in the MIDI signal path, and will need to start Logic’s Transport for it to work.

The delay line can send up to 99 repeats, at intervals ranging from one tick to 256
whole notes. You can suppress the original note. Repeats leaving the delay line will
cycle through all cabled outlets, allowing you to play each repeat with a different
sound.

Delay Line Parameters

The Delay Object has the following parameters:

Thru Original
If this box is checked, the original signal is passed thru. If unchecked, the original signal
is suppressed.

Repeats
Number of event repeats (1 to 99). Setting 0 = delay switched off.

Del
The delay time between the individual repeats. The left value is in divisions, and the
right value in ticks.

Trp
The transposition of note events per repeat (±99 semitones).

Vel
The change in the velocity values of note events per repeat (±99).
