Blofeld User´s Manual

Feedback

0…127

Controls the amount of signal that is routed back into the
Delay line. Lower values therefore produce fewer echoes
than higher values.

Polarity

positive / negative

Determines whether the feedback signal is fed back into
the delay line as is, or is inverted beforehand.

Cutoff

0…127

Dampens the signal produced by the Delay effect. This
filter is routed before the feedback circuitry meaning that
adjacent taps of the Delay will be dampened further. This
creates the typical “high frequency loss” that often
happens in natural echoes. A setting of 127 means that
the signal isn’t filtered, while lower settings filter the high
frequencies of the feedback signal.

Clk. (Clocked) Delay

w

This effect type is only available for the Effect 2 unit.

The Clocked Delay is an effect that produces echoes of
the input signal. To make this effect musically useful in a
synthesizer, the parameters to adjust the delay length are

scaled in note values. The Clock Delay effect depends on
the internal tempo of the Bloefeld which can be found in
the Arpeggiator menu.

An important feature of the Blofeld’s Delay effect is that
the Delay length can be changed without clicks or pitch
changes. This allows you to experiment with different
Delay lengths without getting annoying side effects in the
output signal.

Length

1/96…10 bars

Sets the length of the Delay tap in note values. A “t
behind the number means a triplet note value while a “.
behind it means a dotted note.

Spread

-64...+63

Spreads the left and right delay output to half of the delay
time maximum. Settings from -64 or +63 create a typical
ping pong delay.

Feedback

0…127

Controls the amount of signal that is routed back into the
Delay line. Lower values therefore produce fewer echoes
than higher values.
