It provides independent delay times for the left and right stereo channels, and you can specify those times in tempo-sync’ed multiples of a 16th note or in milliseconds. Simple Delay is the most basic Live delay, but don’t be put off by the name.

(See the ‘Ah-one, Ah-two’ box for a review of how digital delays work, how to convert between note-based and time-based settings, and how to set triplet and swing delay times.) Simple Stuff The Return volume then controls the delay level while the dry signal, whose level is controlled by the track volume, is not affected by the other effects. But when you combine one of them with other effects or use one of them to process multiple tracks, place it on a Return track in Pre mode. You can use each of Live’s delays as an insert effect and adjust its wet/dry mix as needed. You’ll find detailed coverage of two other Live delay-based devices - Grain Delay and Looper - in the January 2012 and December 2013 Live columns. This month we’re going to look at how to get the most out of each of them. Live’s Simple Delay, Ping Pong Delay and Filter Delay audio effects cover all the basics as well as offering a lot of creative potential, and their similar control panels make them easy to learn. We look at what Live’s built-in delays can do for you. MIDI CC 11 (Expression Pedal) is mapped to feedback to control the depth of the effect. Try it in a fixed position for detuning effects or change it in real time for a moving, flanger-like effect. MIDI CC 1 (Mod Wheel) is assigned to modulate the delay times in opposite directions with different ranges as well as to deactivate the device when the wheel is all the way down. 1: Very short, different right- and left-channel delay times simulate a flanger-like effect.
