[. . . ] In Dual Delay and Ping Pong Delay modes, adjusting the Depth and Rate controls can offer some very otherworldly sounds. LFO Type Pop-up Menu Determines the LFO (low frequency oscillator) waveshape and phase used to modulate the delayed signal. The waveshape can be set to triangle or sine, each with a phase value of 0, 90, or 180-degrees. Sets the amount of processed signal fed back into its input. Higher values increase the number of delays and intensity of the processed signal. Recirculation allows both positive and negative values. The polarity refers to the phase of the delays as compared to the original signal. If Recirculation displays a positive value, all the delays will be in phase with the source. If it displays a negative value, then the phase of the delays flips back and forth between in phase and out of phase. In the flanger mode, Recir has the potential to make some very interesting sounds. Try turning RECIR fully clockwise or counter-clockwise, and set the delay to very short but different values. Recirculation (RECIR) Knob UAD-1 Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 86 - CS-1 Channel Strip The RECIR units are expressed as a percentage in all Modes except Dual Delay and Ping Pong. In these modes, RECIR values are expressed as T60 time, or the time before the signal drops 60 decibels. Damping Knob This low pass filter reduces the amount of high frequencies in the signal. Turn down this control to reduce the brightness. Damping also mimics air absorption, or high frequency rolloff inherent in tape-based delay systems. This control determines the balance between the delayed and original signal. Values greater than 50% emphasize the wet signal, and values less than 50% emphasize the dry signal. Wet/Dry Mix allows both positive and negative values. The polarity refers to the phase of the delays as compared to the original signal. If a positive value is displayed, then all the delays will be in phase with the source. With a negative value, the delayed signal is flipped 180 degrees out of phase with the source. L-Pan Knob Sets the stereo position for the left channel, allowing you to adjust the width or balance of the stereo signal. For a mono signal, L-Pan behaves as the level control for the left delay tap. [. . . ] Gain reduction was controlled by applying the audio voltage to a luminescent driver amplifier, with a second matched photoconductive cell used to control the metering section. With its 0 to 40 dB of gain limiting, a balanced stereo interconnection, flat frequency response of 0. 1 dB from 30-15, 000Hz and a low noise level (better than 70 dB below plus 10 dBm output), the LA-2A quickly became a studio standard. Originally patented by Jim Lawrence, it was produced by Teletronix in Pasadena, California, which became a division of Babcock Electronics Corporation. In 1967 Babcock's broadcast division was acquired by the legendary Bill Putnam's company, Studio Electronics Corporation shortly before he changed the company's name to UREI®. [. . . ]
