4ms Looping Delay Eurorack Module DIY Kit (16 HP)

4ms DIYLOOPINGDELAYKIT Overview

Generate crystal-clear clock-synced delay for looping, echoes, sound-on-sound, Karplus Strong synthesis, and more with the 4ms Looping Delay DIY Kit, a do-it-yourself Eurorack compatible clock-based delay module designed for creative synthesis.

Not a tape or analog emulation, but a modern digital delay, the Looping Delay combines features of delay, looping, and sample-tight synchronization for powerful and dynamic sound capture and modification. Based on the Dual Looping Delay, the Looping Delay offers the same high-quality sound in a smaller, single-channel format. The Looping Delay Kit includes all the components needed to complete the module as well as a black panel.

Full DIY Kit

• Includes all the parts necessary to build a full-featured Looping Delay module
• Beginner-level kit: Soldering proficiency required
• Tools needed (not included):
  • Soldering iron, solder
  • Flush snips
  • Needle-nose pliers (for removing a component if you make a mistake)
  • 5/16" and 3/8" socket driver (optional: pliers will work too if you re careful)
  • Multimeter (for reading resistor values if you don t know the resistor color-code chart)

Overview

• Stereo or mono mode (Return/Send becomes right channel In/Out in stereo mode)
• 87 seconds maximum delay/loop time in mono, or 43 seconds in stereo.
• 48 kHz / 24-bit sampling rate, loop recorded at 16-bit
• Extremely quiet, low noise, low jitter design
• Delay and loop time is syncable to a clock, or a division or multiplication of a clock
• Infinite Hold mode for looping and windowing
• Reverse feature for toggling direction of playback
• Feedback ranges from 0 to 110%
• 1V/octave tracking for Resonant Delays (Karplus-Strong)
• Wet/Dry mix output
• CV and trigger inputs for all features

Functions

• Time switches change range of Time knob from 1/8th notes up to 32 bars
• Digital feedback, up to 110%
• Delay Feed control, independent of dry/wet signal mix
• Infinite Hold mode disables recording and plays a loop
• Start and End points of loop can be modified in real-time for scrubbing or windowing
• Reverse mode plays memory contents backwards
• Resonant Delays (ala Karplus-Strong)
• Delay time can be as short as 650uS
• Time CV jack can respond at 1V/octave in Unquantized Time Mode
• Trigger inputs for toggling Infinite Hold and Reverse
• Send and Return for feedback with external modules
• Send and Return function as right channel In and Out in stereo mode
• CV jacks to control Time, Feedback, Delay Feed (record level), and Mix
• Various algorithms can be selected for interfacing with jittery external clocks (External Clock De-Jitter)
• Quantized Change Mode quantizes toggling of Infinite Hold and Reverse

Eurorack Ready

• 16 HP Eurorack format module
• Maximum Depth: 1.1" (28mm)
• Includes power ribbon cable with 16-pin Eurorack power headers
• Power consumption: +12V: 125mA, -12V: 45mA
