Tips, tricks and troubleshooting
- Apply High Cut if you want the Multi Delay to not interfere with the dry signal.
- If you need a specific number of repeats, use Band Delay or Tap Ten Delay.
- In Plex Shift Mode, adjusting Shift will affect pitch, tempo and the number of repeats. This is not a bug.
- Multi Delay doesn't support spillover between presets.
- Multi Delay features a "true" Mono Tape Echo mode.
- Effects wizard Simeon provides a load of magnificent delay effects
