Character Delay
Colonnade Delay
Echoes staged in space.
A two-engine delay with Studio, Tape, Bucket and Ghost modes; Dual, Ping-Pong, Serial and Mid-Side routing; and Repitch/Fade and Quartz/Slide behavior choices.
Signal path
Why it exists
Run two delay engines through Dual, Ping-Pong, Serial or Mid-Side routing, choose Studio, Tape, Bucket or Ghost for each engine, and set how time changes are handled.
Four delay modes
Two engines, four colors, four routes.
01 · Studio
Studio.
A deterministic Studio state shows the shared two-engine controls.
02 · Tape
Tape.
Tape is one of the four source-defined engine modes.
03 · Bucket
Bucket.
Bucket uses the same staged engine view with its own controls active.
04 · Ghost
Ghost.
Ghost completes the four verified engine choices.
Where it earns its keep
Built for the jobs you actually have.
Independent echoes
Use Dual routing for two separately controlled engines.
Alternating repeats
Use Ping-Pong routing from the source-defined routing set.
Cascaded delays
Use Serial routing to stage one engine after the other.
Mid/side staging
Use Mid-Side routing from the same engine surface.

Four characters, measured
| Engine | The machine | What accumulates per repeat |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | Clean digital line | Nothing. Transparent at any feedback |
| Tape | Program-dependent saturation, head bump, HF loss tracking speed, measured wow and flutter | Warmth, compression, wear |
| Bucket | Bucket brigade on a virtual clock with compander | Darkness as times stretch, pumping, bloom |
| Ghost | Companded bit reduction, sample rate reduction, slow warble | Grit that breathes with the signal |
