Feedback
-100%...100%
This parameter controls feedback strength of the Delay.
Turn the Feedback dial to the right to get a strong positive feedback.
Turn the Feedback dial to the left to get a strong negative feedback.
Turn the Feedback dial to a middle position to reduce feedback. If it is set to 0%,
Delay does not have a feedback.
Damping
-100%...+100%
Damping controls the filtering of the Delay Feedback.
Turn the Damping dial to the right to dampen the high frequencies within the feed-
back. Now Damping works as a Low Pass filter.
Turn the Damping dial to the left to dampen the low frequencies within the feed-
back. Now Damping works as a High Pass filter.
Turn the Damping dial to a middle position to get a weak damping effect. If this is
set to 0%, no frequency range within the feedback is dampened.
The filter type used here is a Single-pole filter with a variable slope. It is therefore the
degree of Damping instead of the filter frequency that is changed.
Normal and Crossed
Normal, Crossed
This is where you determine the operation method used by the Delay Feedback. Click
the appropriate “LED” to set the desired Delay type.
Normal
: Feedback is not being mirrored in the stereo spectrum. A signal on the left
side is thus transferred into the left Feedback loop.
Crossed
: Feedback is being mirrored in the stereo spectrum. A signal on the left si-
de is thus transferred into the right Feedback loop, and vice versa. This creates a
ping-pong Delay.
w
Use the Panning or Pan Mod dials to move the signal away from the stereo centre.
If you don’t do this, you will not be able to listen to the effect and the Delay will
be monophonic.
The Tempo dial
This dial is used as a sort of Quantization control. Based on what you set
here, the parameters LFO Speed and Delay Time are tempo-quantized. Ad-
justment values are 0 and a range from 30 to 300 bpm.
If your host software is compatible to VST 2.0, the D-pole is able to receive
tempo information from your host. Delay time and LFO speed can be synced automati-
cally to the tempo. If the D-pole receives tempo information from the host software, it is
synced automatically. Please set the Tempo dial to a value unequal to „off“.
If you use a host software without the required specification you can select the tempo
manually:
