Delay Designer in Logic Pro for iPad
Delay Designer is a multitap delay. Unlike traditional delay units that offer only one or two delays (or taps) that may or may not be fed back into the circuit, Delay Designer provides up to 26 individual taps. These taps are all fed from the source signal and can be edited to create unique delay effects.
Delay Designer provides control over the level, pan position, and pitch of each tap. Each tap can also be lowpass or highpass filtered.
Further effect-wide parameters include synchronization, quantization, and feedback.
As the name implies, Delay Designer offers significant sound design potential. You can use it for everything from a basic echo effect to an audio pattern sequencer. You can create complex, evolving, moving rhythms by synchronizing the placement of taps. This leads to further musical possibilities when coupled with judicious use of transposition and filtering. Alternatively, you can set up numerous taps as repeats of other taps, much as you would use the feedback control of a simple delay effect, but with individual control over each repeat.
To add Delay Designer to your project, choose Delay > Delay Designer in the Plug-ins area or a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu. See Intro to plug-ins. Also see Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins in the Plug-ins area and Work with plug-ins in the Mixer.
The Delay Designer interface consists of four main sections:
Tap Add/Remove: You can record or manually create taps in Delay Designer. See Create Delay Designer taps.
Tap Edit: You can view and edit the parameters of the selected tap in this area. See Tap Edit controls.
Feedback: You can set all Delay Designer feedback parameters in this area. See feedback parameters.
Global and Output: You can set global synchronization, quantization and mix parameters. See Use Delay Designer sync mode.
