…For triplets, however, I prefer heads 1,2,3 enabled and 4 disabled as it lands on the quarter note, moving feedback to head 3, only, keeps repeats on triplet spacing…
I had some similar conclusions, @h90rus, coming from a Strymon-less background. It led to an interesting (not totally unexpected) approach. Two completely different reconfigurations of Delay Time / Head 1-2-3 Div that maintain the same triplet delay pattern & trailing feedback.
- Fdbk Path 1 & 2 & 3
- Head 4 Lvl 0.0 (‘phantom’ head at Head 4 Div 1)
- Delay Time 1/2
- Head 1 Div 1/3
- Head 2 Div 2/3
- Head 3 Div 1
- Fdbk Path 1 & 2 & 3 (or All – optional)
- Head 4 Lvl 0.0 (or optional 10.0 at Head 4 Div 1)
- Delay Time WHOLE Triplet
- Head 1 Div 1/4
- Head 2 Div 1/2
- Head 3 Div 3/4
HotSwitching On & Off between the two head layouts keeps the cycling intact. But it injects a little tape ‘blip’ at the transition point, as it’s settling in to the new Delay Time & Head divisions. All while holding on to the same triplet feel.
