Delay and Echo
Geode
A dual digital delay: two delays, the second a rhythm of the first or its own, in series, in parallel or ping-ponging, in three colours of '80s digital.

Every control, as its hover label says it in the plugin.
| Control | What it does | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | Delay 1's time between repeats: in milliseconds, or with Tempo on Sync, a note value at the song's tempo. | 20 to 1600 ms | 380 ms |
| Division | Delay 1's note value between repeats, on Time's knob while Tempo is on Sync. | 1/32, 1/16T, 1/16, 1/8T, 1/16., 1/8, 1/4T, 1/8., 1/4, 1/2T, 1/4., 1/2, 1/1 | 1/4 |
| Repeats | How much of each repeat comes back in delay 1, and in delay 2 too while Track is on: more for more repeats, all the way up a held wash. | 0 to 1 echoes | 0.4 echoes |
| Mix | Delay 1's wet/dry: the dry signal at 0%, its repeats alone at 100%. | 0 to 100 % | 35 % |
| Mix 2 | Delay 2's own wet/dry: what it passes is the dry signal at 0%, its repeats alone at 100%. | 0 to 100 % | 35 % |
| Tone | Filters the repeats, each one more than the last: a high cut turned left, flat at noon, a low cut turned right. | 0 to 1 | 0.5 |
| Delay 2 | Link sets delay 2 as a rhythm of delay 1, by Time 2's rhythms; Free gives it its own time, Time 2, in milliseconds. | Link, Free | Link |
| Time 2 | Delay 2's time against delay 1's, read as delay 1 a quarter note: an eighth-note triplet, an eighth, the golden ratio, a dotted eighth or a dotted quarter. | Triplet, 1/8, Golden, Dotted 1/8, Dotted 1/4 | Golden |
| Time 2 | Delay 2's time, in milliseconds while Delay 2 is Free, or its rhythm against delay 1's while it is on Link. | 20 to 1600 ms | 240 ms |
| Tempo | Sync: Time steps through note values at the song's tempo, and a linked delay 2 follows it. | Free, Sync | Free |
| Colour | ADM, the early '80s: dark, and gritty on loud highs; 12-bit, the mid '80s: brighter, grainier as it fades; 24/96, clean and full range. | ADM, 12-bit, 24/96 | ADM |
| Routing | Series runs delay 2 into delay 1; Parallel puts delay 1 on the left and delay 2 on the right; Ping-Pong folds the input to one source and bounces the repeats left and right. | Series, Parallel, Ping-Pong | Series |
| Mod | A slow wobble on the repeats' pitch: off, light or deep. | Off, Light, Deep | Light |
| Repeats 2 | How much of each repeat comes back in delay 2; with Track on, it follows Repeats instead. | 0 to 1 echoes | 0.4 echoes |
| Track | On: Repeats 2 follows Repeats, so both delays fall away alike; off: delay 2 has its own Repeats 2. | Off, On | On |
| Hold | Click on to freeze both delays: they repeat what they hold at a steady level, taking in nothing new, until clicked off. | Off, On | Off |
The pedal as the plugin draws it: each of its looks.
What goes in and what comes out.
- InIn
The signal into the delays, each side to its own pair.
- OutOut
The dry signal and the repeats, blended by Mix, in stereo.
- WetOut
The repeats alone, fully wet, whatever Mix says: what each side's last delay sends.
