Chapter 5 Digital Delay

Question 1

Ambience

Answer 1

Ambience

Question 2

Delay

Question 3

Delay Time

Answer 3

The amount of time between the beginning of the original signal entering a digital delay unit and the start of that signal’s echo. This time is measured in milliseconds. By changing the delay time, we can make the echoes seem to occur more quickly or more slowly.

Question 4

Echo

Question 5

Feedback

Question 6

Millisecond

Question 7

Mono Delay

Answer 7

A simple form of delay in which both the right and left outputs of the delay unit put out the
same delay at the same time.

Question 8

Ping-Pong Delay

Question 9

Reflection

Question 10

Regeneration

Question 11

Repeat

Answer 11

Another term for Feedback in a delay unit.

Question 12

Stereo Delay

Answer 12

A more complex form of mono delay. Stereo delay is essentially two mono delay units, meaning that you can set delay times and feedback amounts completely separately for the left and right channels of a stereo digital delay unit.
