GDelay Manual

Welcome to GDelay

GDelay is a digital delay effect, with the option to feed the resulting signal back into the delay line.

Installation

  1. All GVST plug-ins come compressed in a ZIP file, so the first step is to extract the files from the ZIP file.
  2. Once extracted, you should have one or more DLL files, these are the plug-in files.
  3. You need to copy the plug-in files to the appropriate folder for your host program.
  4. In most cases, you will need either to restart the host program or re-scan the plug-in folder in order for newly-installed plug-ins to appear.

Hints

  • Increase the Feedback parameter to achieve some truly chaotic washes of sound.
  • When using GDelay as a send effect, the Dry parameter should be set to "-Inf" and the Wet parameter to "0 dB".

Interface

GDelay interface

Four knobs control GDelay's parameters. Each is clearly labelled above, with a user-editable readout below. Embedded into the GUI is an illustration of the signal path.

Feedback: The level of the delayed signal that is fed back into the delay line.

Delay: The length of the delay.

Dry: The level of the original signal allowed to pass through. Note that it is not an absolute value, but is relative to the amplitude of the source material.

Effect: The level of the delayed signal which is passed through GDelay. This is relative to the overall delay line and is not an absolute value.
