      Hello.

      Is there any feature to minimize the pitch-shifting warble when using tap tempo with delays?

       

      My old device had a transparent/accurate option to minimize those artifacts:

      Accurate” respects the natural pitch fluctuations inherent when changing a real delay pedal’s time knob; “Transparent” minimizes these artifacts.

      Thanks.

      Yes, there is.  You have to select the right algorithm.  Some are are programmed to emulate ‘pitch’ / speed effects in classic gear: tape delay, as one example.

      Others have a short crossfade between the changing delay times.  The Digital Delay & Reverse algorithms ‘expose’ that parameter, so you can adjust just how long that crossfade takes (within a range).

      Thanks for the info.

      I will take a look on the digital delay again. It is not my first option though.

      It’s not confined to just those two algorithms I mentioned.  Those are the only two where crossfade is adjustable.  I don’t have a solid list of which delays ‘pitchbend’ and which ones crossfade. I want to say it’s about half & half.

      It’s easy enough to test out: pick an algo, play a note, spin the delay time parameter.  For example, I believe all of the PitchFactor algorithms with delay capabilities, crossfade.  Many of the TimeFactor ones ‘bend’.  The newer ones … a mixture of each type.

      Funny, the pitch-shifting warble is a bit of a problem for me too.  I checked and the Tape Delay algorithm on the H9 sounds the same as the corresponding algorithm on the H90, except that there is no ‘warble’ on the H9 version!

      I am having a problem with this as well (with both MIDI clock and tap tempo) – currently using the digital delay algorithm to manage it as best as possible, but missing being able to seamlessly use the Tape/Vintage algorithms I used on my Timefactor (changes via manual or externally triggered tap tempo on the Timefactor worked with no warp or artifact issues)
