Notes: An original creative take on delays, looping, reverb and modulation, the Technician combines various digital programs to create a hugely versatile all-round audio tweaking toolbox.

Supplier's Notes:
Delay modes

Digital

Starting as a crisp digital delay, this mode, when paired with the tap footswitch, covers a lot of ground for your delay needs. The "Red" modulator lets you adjust the dampening of the delay, making the repeats either brighter (emulating towards a tape or HIFI sound) or darker

Reverse

Instead of reading the delay buffer in a forward direction like the "Digital" delay we read the buffer backwards creating unique sound possibilities. You can further modify this sound with the "Red" modulator to adjust the dampening of the repeats to grow brighter or darker.

Granular

Takes the delay buffer and chops it up into "Grains" and then plays those grains back. The size of the grains, direction (forward/reverse), the speed (pitch) and location in the buffer is all randomized so every time you experience this mode it will be a unique exploration into granular synthesis. The "Red" modulator allows you to adjust the max size of the randomized "size" of the grains and the amount of grains from 1-5.

Re-sample

What if you want a more complex soundscape like other instruments are playing with you? Re-sample accomplishes this by playing the delay buffer at different speeds which changes the pitch and timing of the delayed phrases creating a more complex musical expression of what you are playing. "Red" lets you adjust the mix of the octave down and the octave up.

Reverb modes

Hall

The least diffused of the reverb modes "Hall" allows you hear the reflective nature of the hallway your sound is in.

Plate

Emulating a classic plate reverb sound that is diffuse and reflective.

Chasm

An exploration into reverb design feedback networks that can allow for unnaturally large decay lengths.

Grim

Takes the "Chasm" mode and splits the output to a parallel octave down so you get the normal output + the octave down for a deep rich soundscape.

Looper modes

Gives you latching control over the rec/dub of your looper.

Momentary

Only rec/dub while holding the rec/dub switch.

Quantise

Works like the latching but will trim your loop to a division of the existing delay time.

MOD ONE and MOD TWO allow you adjust the following modulators

Modulators

Delay

Vibrato - an asymmetrical modulation of the reverbs pre-delay to create sonically pleasing movement in your reverb.
Auto-Filter - takes control of the "Filter" DSP block and modulates it with an LFO. Adjust the "Resonance" of the "Filter" block to get a more dramatic effect.
Shimmer - Adds an octave feedback path in each reverb mode and can be octave down or octave up.
Dampening - adjust the LPF and HPF of the reverb feedback path drastically changing the tone and how the reverb reacts to input.

Reverb

Vibrato - an asymmetrical modulation of the reverbs pre-delay to create sonically pleasing movement in your reverb.
Auto-Filter - takes control of the "Filter" DSP block and modulates it with an LFO. Adjust the "Resonance" of the "Filter" block to get a more dramatic effect.
Shimmer - Adds an octave feedback path in each reverb mode and can be octave down or octave up.
Dampening - adjust the LPF and HPF of the reverb feedback path drastically changing the tone and how the reverb reacts to input.

Looper

Clock: fine detail adjustment of the speed and direction of the clock.
Quantized Clock: Quantized adjustment of the speed and direction of the clock locked to octave intervals.
Loop Start: Adjust the starting point of the loop.
Loop End: Adjust where the loop will end.

Controls

MIX (mod one)- The mix of the Reverb DSP block
DECAY (mod two)- The time it takes for your instruments reverberations to fade away, or die.
FEEDBACK (mod two)- How many repeats the delay will have
MIX (mod one)- The mix of the Delay DSP block
CLOCK (pre-delay)- Adjusts the "size" of the reverb DSP block
MIX (mod one)- The mix of the Looper DSP block
FREQUENCY (resonance)- Adjusts the Frequency of the Filter DSP block
TIME (dry mix)- Set the time of the Delay DSP block up to 2 sec
