Delay timings?
Is there such a thing as "standard" delay timings that were used on insturments? and what are they in beats, not milliseconds. <BR> <BR>peace <BR>looter
Delay timings?
There're nuff lists around on the net with BPM to Delaytime tabels as well as delaytime calculators. <BR>Check MD's <A HREF="http://www.dubroom.org" TARGET="_top">http://www.dubroom.org</A> he's got some links up on that issue <BR> <BR>DC

Delay timings?
Hi Looter <BR> <BR>As you are asking for timings in beats not <BR>milliseconds: <BR> <BR>Most used are: <BR>- 1 beat per echo (Best dressed chicken, Doctor Alimantado) <BR>- 0.66 beats per echo = 3 echoes per 2 beats (Jah Glory - Messian Dread) <BR>- 1.5 beats per echo <BR>- 0.5 beat per echo <BR> <BR>(I am counting Reggae with the rhythm guitar on the second <BR>and fourth beat of each bar - typically 120 .. 170 beats <BR>per minute) <BR> <BR>If you need the timings in milliseconds: <BR>You could use the popular freeware BPM calculator <BR>"Freequency" from <A HREF="http://www.bassline.com" TARGET="_top">http://www.bassline.com</A> <BR>(Unfortunately the site was shutdown. So if <BR>anybody knows a working alternative link, <BR>let us know..) <BR> <BR>To calculate by hand use this formula: <BR> <BR>delaytime in milliseconds = 60000 : BPM x N <BR> <BR>BPM = Beats per minute count of your song <BR>N = number of beats from one echo to the next <BR> (see examples above N = 1 , 1.5 , 0.5) <BR> <BR>If you use a stereo delay you can set N=1 for <BR>the left and N=1.5 for the right channel. Then <BR>enable crossing of the feedback lines. This way <BR>you will have rhythmical delays jumping left and <BR>right in the stereo field. <BR> <BR>The Interruptor
