MIXING & EFFECTS

Fruity Delay 2

Fruity Delay 2 is an enhanced version of the Fruity Delay VST plugin, with refined controls and some additional features, such as stereo offset and panning control for the input signal.

Parameters

Input Section

Allows you to tune the volume and panning of the input signal.

• Panning wheel (PAN) - Sets the panning of the input signal.
• Volume wheel (VOL) - Sets the volume of the input signal.

Feedback Section

Sets various options for the echo feedback.

• Normal/Inverted/Ping Pong - Normal keeps the stereo data consistent with the input signal; Inverted switches the left and right channels in the feedback (so if the input is panned to right, the feedback will be panned to left); Ping Pong works like Inverted, but switches the left and right channels repeatedly for each echo generated (thus creating a "ping pong" effect).
• Volume wheel (VOL) - sets the volume of the feedback. Setting this to maximum will create feedback that never fades out, while setting it to minimum (spun maximum to left) will result in no feedback.
• Cutoff wheel (CUT) - sets the cutoff frequency amount for the feedback. Using this feature allows you to "smooth out" echoes as they fade out thus creating more natural effect.

Time Section

Contains the time settings of the delay effect.

• Time wheel (TIME) - sets the signal delay time (and amount of time between echoes in the feedback). This setting is tempo based. If you want to set the time to an exact number of steps, right-click the wheel and from the popup menu that appears select the Set submenu for a list of presets.
• Stereo Offset wheel (OFS) - lets you set a time offset for the left or right audio channel, thus creating richer stereo panorama of the delay effect. To delay the left channel, spin the wheel to the left. To delay the right channel, spin it to the right. To remove the time offset between channels, reset the wheel (right-click the wheel and select the Reset command).

Dry Section

Contains a single wheel (VOL) that sets the amount of "dry" (unprocessed) signal to be mixed with the "wet" (processed by the effect) signal.

If you want to use Fruity Delay 2 in a send track, it is recommended to set the dry volume to 0 (the wheel spun maximum to left).
