Delay

Delay recirculates previous frames to create echoes, trails, smeared repeats, and time-based feedback patterns.

How-to

Starting Workflow for Delay Effect

  1. Step 1

    Start with Mix and Time to establish the visible delay.

  2. Step 2

    Raise Feedback carefully to build trails without overwhelming the source.

  3. Step 3

    Use Decay, Blur, Zoom, and Color Shift to shape how repeats evolve.
