I would love to increase a delay length on OT.
Can I do it with some LFO magic tricks or is there any different way to achieve it?
If I am not wrong a maximum delay on OT is a half bar. You can double it by changing the tempo, so let’s say that if I would play on 100 bpm I would have half bar of delay, on 50 bpm I would have 1 bar.
Could I have 2 bars, or 4? Is it doable? I wish I could change the tempo below 30, then I would not have a problem.
You can use a pickup machine as kind of a delay, just set src3 to whatever track you want to delay (or cue or main if you want to do that), turn INAB/CD to - and set RLEN to the delay time you want and press REC1 to start it. Use gain to control feedback.
I am not really sure if I got it. I mean, I think that I know what you meant with using pickup machine as a delay but I would still need BASE and WDTH option from delay settings. Would that be possible? I need two bars, this is my ultimate goal and I would be in heaven.
Sezare56, have you managed to check that by any chance?
Another nice thing about this is that on the track you’re using as a send, you have both effects slots free so you can do a lot of stuff that the normal delay effect can’t do. Plus multiple taps (every play trig on the send track is like adding another head on a tape echo), LFO modulation of amp page parameters… there’s a whole lot of potential in there that I haven’t explore yet (I mainly use the cue-send trick for reverb, and lately I can’t even spare a track for that),
I am not sure if this is what I do is wrong or the effect is different to the one that I was expecting.
The delay is half bar long, so let’s say I play something with 88BPM, by changing tempo to 44BPM and metronome to 4/8, the delay is twice long and have a whole bar of delay time.
If I would be able to change the tempo to 11BPM I would achieve desired effect, as 22BPM would have 1.5 bar and 11BPM would be 2 bar long. Is that possible with the method you are talking about? If yes, I had to do something wrong.
