JoranalogueDelay 1 Analog BBD Delay

Joranalogue Delay 1

Create complex choruses, bursting flangers, and evolving echoes with Joranalogue's Delay 1, a fully analog BBD line with striking enhancements and sonic options. With zero latency, Delay 1 utilizes a high-frequency VCO that works well above 20kHz for removing the annoying whine typically heard from BBD chips. Delay 1's internal VCO clocking is defined via the Coarse and Fine tuning knobs (with a fine range of 1 to 50ms), and it can further be key-tracked to any 1V/Oct signal via the dedicated input or modulated in a more precise way via the Time Mod, ranging +/- 1V/Oct. This melodic element to the Delay 1 is complemented by the pluck input for triggering Karplus-Strong style synthesis when feedback is set moderately high.

Feedback and Damping control the length and timbral quality of the delay, respectively, with each offering CV inputs to modulate them over time. Additionally, Delay 1's damping can employ a high or low pass filter, while the feedback can be used with normal regeneration or inverted feedback for more unusual tonal characteristics.

You can easily take the fully wet signal for further parallel processing, or take one or both of the positive and negative blend outputs. This allows you create opposing comb filters, or simply to stereo-ize your mono input for wider imaging on your modulation effects. With an external high frequency clock input and pass through output, the Delay 1 works brilliantly as a single modulation effect, Karplus-Strong voice, tight delay, or general source of sonic madness.
