Generate crystal-clear clock-synced delay for looping, echoes, sound on sound, Karplus-Strong synthesis, and more with the black 4ms Dual Looping Delay, a Eurorack-compatible clock-based delay module designed for creative synthesis.
By default, a looping delay records and plays continuously, though recording can be suspended at any time with Infinite Repeat. Sustain of delays and loops is mainly accomplished with regeneration, allowing an organic, evolving approach to sound creation as new material replaces old, more or less gradually. The 4ms Dual Looping Delay also provides advanced clock input and output facilities that allow for locking delayed and looped material with sequencers and rhythmic devices. The module ships with a ribbon power cable and mounting screws.
What's New in Firmware v5
- Ping Lock for each channel
- Quantized Inf/Rev/Time Change Mode
- 24-bit audio (selectable with a jumper)
- Reverse and Inf Hold can be toggled with gates or triggers
- Delay Feed knob can be selected to be audio or linear taper
- Runaway DC at high feedback settings (e.g. resonant delays) is eliminated
- Auto-Muting now has a 1 ms attack and decay
- Cross-fade Time (CFT) for splices is now variable (set in System Mode from 0 to 500 ms)
- Selection of External Clock De-jittering algorithms to allow the DLD to sync with many types of external clocks
- Exiting Infinite Hold plays through, without restarting loop
Functions
- Two independent delay/loop channels, synchronized to a common time base
- Almost 3 minutes delay/loop time per channel (2:54) in default storage mode (16-bit)
- 48 kHz / 16-bit sampling rate, option available for 24-bit storage
- Extremely quiet, low noise and low jitter design
- Normaled connections of input and output for flexible use in mono, stereo, or dual mode
- Tap tempo button and clock Ping input set the basis for one beat
- Delay/loop time set as a number of musical beats (or fractions of beats) using the Time knob, switch, and CV jack
- Sample-accurate clock output for perfect synchronization
- Loop clock outputs for each channel
- Time switches change range of Time knob from 1/8th notes up to 32 bars
- Digital feedback, up to 110%
- Delay Level control, independent of dry/wet signal mix
- Infinite Hold mode disables recording input and fixes regeneration at exactly 100%
- Reverse mode plays memory contents backwards
- With an infinite loop locked, knobs or CV can window around memory, by shifting the loop
- Triggered toggle inputs for Infinite Hold and Reverse
- Send and Return on each channel for feedback with external modules
- CV jacks to control Time, Level, and Feedback
