System A - 100

Sampler

A-112

13

The length of the delay memory is defined by the
parameter Len (see below). The maximum length is
the complete sampling memory (64kbyte = 65536
bytes). With a sampling frequency of 32 kHz this
corresponds to 2 seconds delay time. The actual
delay time
is decided by a combination of the length
of the delay memory
(Len) and the sampling fre-
quency
.

Gate = low:
The module is waiting for gate = high; LED 3 is off.
The initial sampling frequency is set.

Gate = high:
The delay mode is started; LED 3 turns on. Retrigger
is active, i.e. a gate transition to low and back to high
starts the delay mode again.

H

Moving from delay mode directly to delay
with freeze is not possible. To perform this
one has to interrupt the delay mode (switch
5

to S1/S2 or switch 7 to Len) and then

select the desired mode.

P

By feeding the A-112 output back to its input
one obtains a repeat or echo (see fig 5).
Beware: too much feedback leads to an
avalanche-like effect. In this case the feed
back component has to be reduced.

Reverse delay mode

This mode is the same as the delay mode but the
playback of the delayed signal takes place in reverse.

H

Memory bank S2 is overwritten in this mode!

Principle: Same as the normal delay mode but writing
into the delay memory is performed forward, and
reading the delay memory is performed backward. As
this is a very simple “bog standard“ algorithm, overlap-
ping effects may occur and lead to interference, glit-
ches or clicks in the audio output signal.
