Sascha Franck Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 For the first time in my life I needed a 32nd delay (supposed to be a 1/16 delay on a double time part), wanted to use the stock Tape Delay for that task - but to my great astonishment, none of the standard delays offers that. Gets even more strange considering there's a dotted 32nd delay. I may get away with some deviation adjustment, but a 1/32 delay should rather be available straight. Apparently not a big one for me, as I never noticed that ever since Logic 4.5 (when the delays were introduced), still pretty strange.

fuzzfilth Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 That's weird, yes. But then, that would be like 60ish milliseconds at 120bpm, so squarely in the range of doubling, yet around 100ms @70bpm, so yeah, it should be available.

ValliSoftware Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Use the Delay Designer preset 1\16 Delay, change the grid to 32 and add your extra points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 32nds are there in Delay Designer, but I wanted just a very simple slapback delay, so grabbing the Tape Delay is a pretty normal thing.

Easy workaround: 1/16 triplet with a deviation of -25% will give you 32nds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(got that far myself already, though) Maybe useful for others, though (The underlying simple math: 1/16 triplet = 1/24 note, 1/24 - 25% = 1/24 - 1/96 = 4/96 - 1/96 = 3/96 = 1/32 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you don't want to use Delay Designer. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88keys Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 What could be faster than just dividing 60,000 (the number of milliseconds in a minute) by your BMP tempo? Now you have milliseconds for your 1/4 note delay. Then just start dividing by 2 from there . . . 1/8th ... 1/16th ... 1/32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all fine and dandy but won't work too well anymore once there's tempochanges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88keys Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Very true. You’d have to automate the delay plug. Total PITA. Could do it with midi scripter though. Scripter reads current bpm, calculate what you want then midi to plug-in parameters to alter the milliseconds of the delay. Easy if someone writes that script.

I'm sure someone can come up with an even more convoluted way to do something that is easily achieved by setting two parameters in the plug-in (see my posts above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
