13. DELAY, REVERB AND MIXER PARAMETERS
The Syntakt effects and mixers parameters are explained in this chapter.
13.1 EDITING THE DELAY, REVERB AND MIXER PARAMETERS
The Syntakt’s Delay and Reverb are send effects and are set on a pattern level. It means that all the sounds
in a pattern shares the same effect settings but have individual send levels to the effects. The Delay and
Reverb parameters are set on their respective PARAMETER page, but their incoming signals are set by the
DEL and REV send parameters on the AMP page of each audio track. Press [FUNC] + [FLTR] to edit the
Delay. Press [FUNC] + [AMP] to edit the Reverb. Use the DATA ENTRY knobs A-H to change the parameters.
DELAY controls the character, reverb send and volume of the delay send effect.
REVERB controls the character and volume of the reverb send effect.
The FX parameter settings are stored as part of the pattern. Don’t forget to save the pattern
and give it a unique name once you have achieved the results you want.
13.2 DELAY
The Delay send effect takes the input signal, delays it in time and then rejoins it with the original signal.

13.2.1 TIME
Delay Time sets the delay time. It is relative to the current BPM and is measured in 128th notes.

13.2.2 X
Ping-pong sets the delay signal to alternate across the stereo field. There are two settings:
• OFF lets you manually set the position of the delay signal in the stereo field. Use the WID parameter
to change the stereo field position.
• ON makes the delay signal alternate between left and right pan positions. The WID parameter
controls the amount of panning.
13.2.3 WID
Stereo Width sets the delay signal pan width across the stereo field. The parameter is bipolar.
13.2.4 FDBK
Feedback Gain sets the amount of delay output signal to feed back into the input of the delay. With high­
er parameter settings, infinite and/or swelling delays are possible. Please be aware that high feedback
can lead to a very loud signal.
13.2.5 HPF
Feedback HPF sets the cutoff frequency of the delay highpass filter.
13.2.6 LPF
Feedback LPF sets the cutoff frequency of the delay lowpass filter.
13.2.7 REV
Reverb Send sets the amount of Delay output signal to be sent to the Reverb.
13.2.8 VOL
Mix Volume adjusts the volume of the Delay output signal.
The parameters on the DELAY parameter page can be controlled by the sequencer using the
FX Track. For more information, please see “6.3.3 THE FX TRACK” on page 21. and “12.
FX TRACK PARAMETERS” on page 62.
13.3 REVERB
The Reverb send effect controls the persistence, and ambient characteristics, of the sound reverberations.
It can simulate many different sonic locations, from huge spaces to small rooms.
Press [FUNC] + [AMP] to access this parameter page.
13.3.1 PRE
Pre-delay sets the pre-delay time of the Reverb.
13.3.2 DEC
Decay Time sets the length of the decay of the reverberated signal. The decay time can be set to infinite.
13.3.3 FREQ
FB Shelving Freq sets the shelving filter frequency. Together with the GAIN parameter, it can be used to
dampen the reverberated signal above a chosen frequency, making the reverberation sound more promi­
nent or more muffled.
13.3.4 GAIN
FB Shelving Gain affects the damping of the reverberated signal above the shelving frequency set by the
FREQ parameter. At max value the treble is included in the reverberations; lowering the value dampens it.
