AnalogDelay

AnalogDelay implements an analog-style delay with LPF and distortion on a feedback loop. Background on the distortion formulae can be found here.

As with all feedback effects, be very careful with parameter settings as they can lead to ungodly results.

Feedback controls the gain of the feedback loop. Usually you'll want to keep this value well-below 1.0.

Distortion selects a distortion formula. Generally the approach is to apply a waveshaper to emulate some form of analog signal degradation. These distortions are implemented in the DbLicKDistort chugin.

Param sets the value of the distortion-specific parameter.

• Clip param is the absolute value used to clip the signal.
• Offset param is a value to add to the signal.
• Phase1 param value under 0.5 signals phase inversion.
• FullRectifier param is a bias value.

LPF_Q sets the Quality or Resonance of the lowpass filter. High Q means a sharper peak but also more feedback.

Delay sets the amount of delay represented in standard ChucK notation like 1::ms, 50::samp, .5::second.

MaxDelay sets the maximum amount of delay you expect to require. Can't be changed during a live session.

Gain multiplies the effect.

Bypass allows you to bypass the effect.
