CHANNEL SETTINGS

Time Channel Settings (TIME)

The Time Channel Settings page contains settings related to echo delays, time shifting and adding arpeggio effect to the instrument. These settings appear in all generators (including third party ones), except the TS404, which has different sound generation approach, so it can not have echoed or arpeggiated note events (you can still have echoes in TS404, see TS404 Channel Settings).

1. Echo Delay Section

This section lets you set up echoes for the channel, but be warned that this is NOT a real delay line. It does not create echoes of wave output of the generator, but creates echoes of the note events instead. This enables some special effects like pitch shifted echoes, but also requires additional CPU power for each echo generated (because each echo created with this section is a normal note). If you want to use a standard delay line, use Fruity Delay effect instead (see Effects).

All options described below are applied additive to each successive echo. For example, if you set the pitch wheel to +10 cents, the first echo will have 10 cents higher pitch than the original sound. The second will have 20 cents higher pitch than the original sound etc.

2. Arpeggiator

This section lets you add arpeggio effect to the note events of the instrument and plays it back in real time. To use the arpeggiator, select a direction from the icons in the top left corner of this section. The available options are: Off (default; turns off the arpeggiator), Up, Down, Up-Down, Up-Down (twice the lowest and highest notes), Random (selects random notes from the range and chord specified).

3. Shift

Turn this wheel to right to delay notes triggering with up to 16-th note time period.
