Delay Processor

Delay creates echoes. It is also possible to give depth and width to a sound by adding a short delay to the original sound.

Editing the parameters

Editing the parameters can be done via GS system exclusive messages or by accessing the .delayProcessor property.

Custom Processor

SpessaSynthProcessor allows you to supply a custom delay processor.
A custom delay processor must implement the following parameters and behavior.

level

0-127 This parameter sets the amount of the effect sent to the effect output.

preLowpass

0-7 A low-pass filter can be applied to the sound coming into the effect to cut the high frequency range. Higher values will cut more of the high frequencies, resulting in a more mellow effect sound.

timeCenter

0-115 0.1ms-340ms-1000ms The delay effect has three delay times; center, left and right (when listening in stereo). Delay Time Center sets the delay time of the delay located at the center. Refer to SC-8850 Owner's Manual p. 236 for the exact mapping of the values.

timeRatioLeft

1-120 4% - 500% This parameter sets the delay time of the delay located at the left as a percentage of the Delay Time Center (up to a max. of 1.0 s). The resolution is 100/24(%).

timeRatioRight

1-120 4%-500% This parameter sets the delay time of the delay located at the right as a percentage of the Delay Time Center (up to a max. of 1.0 s). The resolution is 100/24(%).

levelCenter

0-127 This parameter sets the volume of the central delay. Higher values result in a louder center delay.

levelLeft

0-127 This parameter sets the volume of the left delay. Higher values result in a louder left delay.

levelRight

0-127 This parameter sets the volume of the right delay. Higher values result in a louder right delay.

feedback

0-127 (-64)-63 This parameter affects the number of times the delay will repeat. With a value of 0, the delay will not repeat. With higher values there will be more repeats. With negative (-) values, the center delay will be fed back with inverted phase. Negative values are effective with short delay times.

sendLevelToReverb

0-127 This parameter sets the amount of delay sound that will be sent to the reverb. Higher values result in more sound being sent.

process

Process the effect and adds it to the output.

• input - The input buffer to process. It always starts at index 0.
• outputLeft - The left output buffer.
• outputRight - The right output buffer.
• outputReverb - The mono input for reverb. It always starts at index 0.
• startIndex - The index to start mixing at into the output buffers.
• sampleCount - The amount of samples to mix.

getSnapshot

Returns a DelayProcessorSnapshot. It contains all the properties of the DelayProcessor, but not the process method (or getSnapshot).
