INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new D•TWO Multi-tap Rhythm Delay.The D•TWO Multi-tap Rhythm Delay is an easy to use, high quality digital Delayunit. When it comes to Delay effects we are convinced that with this unit you arewell covered. This applies for live-sound production as well as in the studio. TheD•TWO covers not only all the traditional Delay functions, but also a few brand newones. With traditional Delay units it is generally only possible to control Feedbackand Level on a specified fixed Delay time. With the D•TWO you are now able to tapactual rhythm patterns consisting of up to 10 taps directly into the unit. Many will recognize the TC 2290 studio Delay unit as the Delay unit that introducedthe “Dynamic Delay” function. A function that allows the Delay Output level to beactively altered by the dynamics of the Input level. A function that can be used toleave the source material clear and undisturbed while played and delicatelyaccompanied by the Delay between phrases. Yes, this feature is also available inthe D•TWO.

We hope you will have as much pleasure using the D•TWO as we had making it.

SETUP

SetupThe Setup menu holds all general Setup-parameters including parameters normallyfound in Utility, Level and I/O menus.

Basic Operation• Press the SETUP key to enter the Setup

page.• Use the ARROW keys to select parameter.• Use the CONTROL wheel to change

parameter value. All changes are instantly effective.

Mono/ Stereo InThe channel select on Analog Inputs is doneautomatically via sensing on the Inputconnectors.

Input SelectDial the CONTROL wheel to select betweenAnalog or Digital.

Analog InputWhen "Analog" is selected the D•TWOautomatically defaults to the internal 44.1kHzclock as Sample Rate.

Digital InputWhen "Digital" is selected the D•TWO attemptsto lock to the S/PDIF Input. During the lock-upperiod the "DI" display icon flashes indicatingnone or unacceptable clock, and the Outputsare muted. When lock is achieved the "DI" icon turns solid,and the Outputs are un-muted.

ClockAnalog InputWhen Input source is analog the followingSample Rates are available:Internal 44.1kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal44.1kHz.Internal 48kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal48kHz.Digital - The D•TWO locks to the incomingDigital clock.

Digital InputWhen Input Source is digital the followingSample Rates are available:Internal 44.1kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal44.1kHz.Internal 48kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal48kHz.

Digital - The D•TWO locks to the incomingDigital clock.

Please note that when using internalclock with external digital audio, theincoming digital audio must be in syncwith the set D•TWO internal clock inorder to avoid slip-samples.

***Rate Mismatch****This Error message will occur in thedisplay if the D•TWO detects slip-

samples. Typically this problem only occurs invery special clock setups e.g. if the D•TWO isrunning via internal clock, while processingaudio from the Digital Input. If the incomingclock and the internal clock does not match theD•TWO will display ***Rate Mismatch****

Out Range Sets the maximum gain range of the analogOutput stage.Range: 2dBu, 8dBu, 14dBu and 20dBu.

Out levelRange: 0 to Off (-100dB) in 1dB increments.Controlling the overall digital/analog Outputlevel.

Digital In GainAdjusts the digital In level. This parameter isonly active when digital In is selected.

DitherGoing from one type of bit resolution to a lower,e.g. from 24 bit to 16 bit, you actually loose 8bits of information. The process of cutting off bits is calledtruncation and it introduces digital distortion oflow level signals, due to the lack of completesignal information. To compensate for this,“dither” must be applied. Dither is a smallamount of filtered noise that generatesrandomization at the noise floor, ensuring aless distorted low level signal. Dithering is relevant only on digital Outputs andit is always the receiving device that determinesthe number of bits you must dither to. A CDR ora DAT recorder should normally be dithered to16 bits.

SETUP

Status BitsSets whether the D•TWO is sending outAES/EBU (professional standard or S/PDIF(consumer standard) status bits.

Delay UnitSelect ms (milliseconds) or BPM (Beats PerMinute).

Delay ModeSelect between Stereo and Mono.

Reverse OffsetOffsets the Reverse Delay with 0-200ms. Thisenables you to tailor the feel of the ReverseDelay to the source material.

MIDI Tempo Sync.Range: 2/1, 1/1, 1/2, 1/4. Locks the Delay to the incoming MIDI clock,enabling the D•TWO to be synchronized to anyMIDI device, e.g. a sequencer.The D•TWO owns the ability to subdivide theincoming MIDI clock in order to adapt the Delayto very fast or very slow tempo arrangements,e.g. selecting the 1/2 setting will lower theincoming sync to half tempo.

MIDI ChannelRange: Off/1-16/Omni.Sets the responding MIDI channel of theD•TWO.

MIDI CCRange: On/Off.Determines whether the D•TWO shouldrespond to MIDI Continuous Controllers or not.

Program bankDetermines which bank an external MIDI devicewill address in the D•TWO when sending aprogram change. The options are: Factory,User or External.When External is selected controller #32 canbe used to address either the Factory or theUser bank.

Factory bank: Controller #32=0User bank: Controller #32=1

MIDI Bulk DumpPress ENTER to perform a Bulk Dump of allpresets to an external MIDI device. The D•TWOis always ready to receive MIDI Bulk Dumpinformation.

MIDI Sys-Ex IDDetermines the Sys-Ex ID number of the unit. All effect parameters can be changed via MIDISys-Ex using an external MIDI device. In orderto define which unit the sent MIDI Sys-Exinformation should reach, the appropriate IDnumber must be set.

Bypass ModeThere are three different Bypass modes:

0% MixThe Input signal is passed directly to theOutput.

FX Input Shuts off the Engine Input in order to let theeffect "ring out", but leaves the same amountof dry signal through the unit.

FX OutputShuts off the Engine Output in order to kill theFX instantaneously, but leaves the sameamount of dry signal coming through.

Pedal SetupThe pedal Input of the D•TWO can recognizetwo pedals simultaneously. One on the tip, andone on the ring of the 1/4” jack connector. The Ring pedal is fixed to Tap tempo.The Tip pedal can be set to Bypass, Tap tempoor Rhythm tap. The Pedal used must have amomentary switch.

DELAY MODES

The D•TWO holds 3 basic Delay modes• Traditional Delay mode

In this mode the D•TWO operates as aregular Delay unit.

• Straight Delay modeIn this mode you will have total control overeach tap.

• Rhythm modeIn this mode you are able to tap a specificrhythm into the unit. Afterwards full control ofall taps are available.

Traditional Delay ModeThe Traditional Delay mode, makes the D•TWOwork as any regular Delay unit. The delayedsignal is fed back into the Delay line by theFEEDBACK % knob, thus creating Delayrepeats.

The ParametersParameters of the Traditional Delay modeare, as the name suggests, quite similar tothose of any other Delay unit.

Delay - Delay TimeTap the DELAY/TAP key, or press the DELAYkey once and dial the DELAY wheel to changethe basic Delay time. The maximum tap time is2000ms.

Feedback LevelHit the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key and dial theDELAY wheel to change the amount of signalfed back into the Delay line. A 100% setting willloop the Delay line.

Feedback RepeatsIf the Feedback Repeats setting differs from “-”you have specified the number of repeats andyou are no longer in the Traditional mode.

ShuffleThe Shuffle parameter has no effect in theTraditional Delay mode.

QuantizeThe Quantize parameter has no effect in theTraditional Delay mode.

Track Tap The Track Tap parameter allows the preset toinstantly track the current basic tempo, andadapt to this as opposed to using the tempo,that the current preset was stored with. This enables you to use a number of presetswithout having to tap the overall tempo morethan once.

RhythmDcay - Rhythm DecayThe RhythmDcay parameter has no effect inthe Traditional mode.

SubdivisionThe Subdivision recalculates the basic Delaytime accordingly. BPM equals 1/4 subdivision.To see the recalculated Delay time - pressEDIT and use the CURSOR keys to select theDelay time parameter.

Press and hold the DELAY/TAP keyand dial the DELAY wheel, to changethe Subdivision.

DELAY MODES

Additional EffectsTo the Traditional Delay mode the effectsdescribed below can be added:Please see detailed description on 23-25.

Spatial:Gives the Delay a wider feeling either by using“left channel offset” or “Phase Reverse” of left,right or both channels.

Filter:Enables a High and a Low Cut filter in theFeedback loop and in the actual Delay line.

Chorus:Adds Chorus, to smooth the Delay repeats.

Dynamic:A ducking function that reduces the Outputlevel of the Delay with a specified level whenthe Input signal exceeds a certain Threshold.

PingPong:The PingPong effect is not available in theTraditional mode.

Straight Delay ModeThe Straight Delay mode, utilizes a feedbackstrategy that gives you all the normal controlsof a Delay and on top of that, the ability tocontrol the exact number of repeats.Instead of a traditional feedback loop, theStraight mode uses a Multi-tap strategy.

Delay Line

Delay Taps

How to set up the Straight modeSet the FEEDBACK # to anything between 1and 10 by pressing and holding theFEEDBACK/RHYTHM key while turning theDELAY wheel. The D•TWO is now in theStraight mode.

Max. Delay timeDue to the Multitap Delay strategy, themaximum Delay time available is scaled withthe number of specified taps, e.g. if you have10 repeats you will have 1000ms available oneach tap, while 5 repeats would give you2000ms on each tap.

The maximum Delay time in total is:In Stereo mode: 5 sec. Delay time.In Mono mode: 10 sec. Delay time.Stereo/Mono is selected in the SETUP menu.

The ParametersThe Straight Delay mode allows you to controlthe exact number of repeats and additionallyoffers the ability to add shuffle feel to the Delayrepeats.

Delay TimeTap the DELAY/TAP key, or press theDELAY/TAP key once and dial the DELAYwheel to change the basic Delay time. Themaximum tap time pr. tap is 2000ms.

Feedback LevelHit (one time only) the FEEDBACK/RHYTHMkey and use the DELAY wheel to change theDecay of the repeats. A 100% setting will leave every repeat atmaximum level.

Feedback # Press and hold the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM keyand dial the DELAY wheel to change the exactnumber of Delay repeats. The maximumnumber of repeats is 10 or limited by the totalDelay time. In case of limited repeats, theFEEDBACK # parameter will be blinking. E.g. 10 repeats of 1500ms = >10 seconds.

ShuffleThe Shuffle parameter allows you to add shufflefeel to the straight Delay repeats. The shufflefeel is added to every second repeat, byoffsetting the repeat according to thepercentage of the shuffle parameter.The Shuffle parameter only works on straightSubdivisions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16.

QuantizeThe Quantize parameter has no effect in theStraight mode.

Track Tap The Track Tap parameter allows the preset toinstantly track the current basic tempo, andadapt to this, as opposed to using the tempothat the current preset was stored with. This enables you to use a number of presetswithout having to tap the overall tempo morethan once.

RhythmDcayThe RhythmDcay parameter has no effect inthe Straight mode.

SubdivisionThe Subdivision recalculates the basic Delaytime accordingly. BPM equals 1/4 subdivision.

Press and hold the DELAY/TAP keyand dial the DELAY wheel, to changethe Subdivision.

Additional EffectsTo the Straight Delay mode the effectsdescribed below can be added:Please see detailed description on pages 21-25.

Spatial:Gives the Delay a wider feeling either by using“left channel offset” or “Phase Reverse” of left,right or both channels.

Filter:In a traditional feedback loop, the signal willpass the feedback filter each time it passesthrough the feedback loop. This is perceived asif the signal is gradually filtered more and more- repeat after repeat. This effect can beachieved in the Straight mode by using the FBfilters.

Chorus:Adds Chorus, to smoothen the Delay repeats.

Dynamic:A ducking function that reduces the Outputlevel of the Delay with a specified level whenthe Input signal exceeds a certain Threshold.

PingPong:The PingPong effect synchronizes panning withthe tempo of the Delay repeats.

DELAY MODES

Rhythm ModeThe Rhythm mode offers a new unique featureto Delay control i.e. Rhythm Delay. Tap therhythm that you want the D•TWO to perform onthe FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key. On top of thisthe D•TWO can help you quantize the rhythmpattern to a specific subdivision, edit the rhythmpattern, or change the level of each tap in therhythm pattern.

Feedback %Sets the Decay of the rhythm patterndepending on the RhythmDcay parameter.(see description on the next page).

Feedback # Indicates the total number of taps utilized in therhythm pattern. While tapping the rhythm, theFeedback # will be counting the number of tapsin the current rhythm. Additionally the Delaytime display will be indicating the total time ofthe over all rhythm pattern. When Quantize isinactive the total time will be displayed in ms orBPM. When Quantize is active, the total timewill be expressed in number of subdivision e.g.total number of 1/16th notes.

ShuffleThe Shuffle parameter allows you to add shufflefeel to the straight Delay repeats. The shufflefeel is added to every second repeat, byoffsetting the repeat according to thepercentage of the shuffle parameter.The Shuffle parameter only works on straightSubdivisions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16.

QuantizeThe Quantize parameter allows you to quantizethe tapped rhythm according to a specificsubdivision e.g. 1/16 note. In order to take full advantage of the Quantizefunction, a base tempo must be tapped beforetapping the actual rhythm. The Quantize function is non-destructive duringedits, meaning that the original tap values aremaintained until the quantized rhythm is storedin a preset, enabling you to check out severalquantizations before the setting is stored.

In order to use Quantize you must tapa regular tempo on the DELAY/TAPkey before you tap the rhythm.

Track tap The Track tap parameter allows the preset toinstantly track the current basic tempo, andadapt to this, as opposed to using the tempothat the current preset was stored with. This enables you to adapt a specific Rhythmpattern to any tempo.

How to set up enter Rhythm modeSimply tap the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM and theD•TWO will instantly create the rhythm patternthat you tap. The “RHYTHM” icon in the Delaytime display indicates that you are now inRhythm mode. Tap the DELAY/TAP key to exitthe Rhythm mode.

Max. Delay timeDue to the Multitap Delay strategy, themaximum Delay time available is scaled withthe number of specified taps, e.g. if you have10 taps, you will have 1000ms available oneach tap, while 5 repeats would give you2000ms on each tap.

The maximum Delay time in total is:In Stereo: 5 sec. Delay time.In Mono: 10 sec. Delay time.Stereo/Mono is selected in the SETUP menu.

The ParametersThe Rhythm mode allows you to tap and edit aspecific rhythm pattern. The maximum numberof taps in a pattern is 10 taps.

Delay TimeSets the basic tempo of the tapped rhythm.When using Quantize the basic tempo must betapped/set before tapping the rhythm. The basictempo is indicated when the DELAY/TAP key isenabled. The maximum tap time pr. tap is2000ms.

DELAY MODES

RhythmDcay - Rhythm DecayThis parameter sets the Decay style of theRhythm pattern. A Rhythm pattern is always fedback from the last tap, meaning that the entirepattern is repeated when Feedback % isdifferent from 0.

NormalWhen the Normal Decay style is selected, theRhythm pattern will decay, tap by tap, as astandard Delay. When Feedback % is set to“0”, the pattern will decay over the total patterntime (total pattern time is indicated in the Delaytime display when the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM isselected).

StepWhen Step Decay style is selected, the Rhythmpattern will decay pattern by pattern, meaningthat all taps in a pattern will be played back atequal level. The level is lowered as the patternis repeated. When Feedback % is set to “0”, the currentpattern will be played back once at full level.

Subdivision:In Rhythm mode the Subdivisions are used asthe quantization grid. This means that whenQuantize is active, the Subdivision determinesthe smallest increment that a tap can be, e.g. ifthe base tempo is 500ms (120BPM) and theSubdivision is set to 1/16, the shortest time of aRhythm tap will be 125 ms (500/4=125ms).

Press and hold the DELAY/TAP keyand dial the DELAY wheel, to changethe Subdivision.

Rhythm Tap EditWhen in the Rhythm mode the tapped Rhythmpattern can be edited tap by tap. This gives youthe possibility to change the Rhythm patternthat you just tapped, or to build a new patternfrom scratch. The Tap Edit menu contains three parametersfor each tap: The Tap number, the Tap level, theTap time.

How to enter/exit Tap EditPress and hold the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM keyto enter the Tap Edit menu. The Feedback #parameter will be blinking while in Tap Edit. Press any key (except ARROW UP/ARROWDOWN) to exit the Tap Edit menu.

The Tap numberIndicates the number of the current Tap. Usethe DELAY wheel to scroll through the ten taps. The Delay time display indicates the total Delaytime of the Rhythm pattern up to the end of theselected Tap, in either ms/BPM or number ofSubdivisions (depending on whether Quantizeis on or off).

The Tap levelSets the level of the current Tap. Press theARROW UP/ARROW DOWN keys to edit thelevel. When a tap is muted, it is still valid as a timefactor. This can be used for “filling up” a bare.g. if you feed back a Rhythm pattern thatcontains six 1/8th notes in a 4/4 pattern, therhythmic feel will change, as the pattern doesnot fit a whole bar. Alternatively a muted Tap of2/8 can be placed as the last tap, giving noaudio, but creating a full bar repeat length i.e.8/8 (2/8+6/8=8/8= 1 bar).The levels available are:Mute, -12dB, -6dB, -3dB, 0dB(default), +3dBand +6dB.

The Tap timeSets the time from the previous to the currenttap. When Quantize is inactive, the Tap time isset in ms increments.When Quantize is active, the Tap time is set inthe current Subdivision e.g. number of 1/8thnotes. Dial the CONTROL wheel to change the Taptime. Turning the Tap time fully counterclockwise will set the Tap to “Off” meaning that

the current Tap is disabled.Taps cannot change order. This means that if atap is placed “on top” of a second tap, thesecond tap automatically will be set to “Off”.

Additional EffectsTo the Traditional Delay mode the effectsdescribed below can be added:Please see detailed description on this and thefollowing pages.

Spatial:Gives the Delay a wider feeling either by using“left channel offset” or “Phase Reverse” of left,right or both channels.

Filter:Enables a High and a Low Cut filter in theFeedback loop and in the actual Delay line.

Chorus:Adds Chorus, to smooth the Delay repeats.

Dynamic:A ducking function that reduces the Outputlevel of the Delay with a specified level whenthe Input signal exceeds a certain Threshold.

PingPong:The PingPong effect is not available in theTraditional mode.

PingPongBasic operationEntering the PingPong menu can be done intwo ways:• Press PINGPONG and scroll to the Pingpong

parameters. • Double click the PINGPONG key for shortcut.The PINGPONG key also works as on/off forthe PingPong function.

PingPong basically means that the Delay ispanned in accordance with the Tapped Delaytime.

Style Range: L-R, L-C-R and DynamicThe Style parameter determines how the signalis panned.

L-R:The L-R mode will pan the signal hard left, hardright.

L-C-R:Pannes the taps left, center and rightaccordingly.

Dynamic:This setting will fit the number of Delay repeatswith the number of panning positions. Forexample a Delay with 5 repeats would use 5pan positions from left to right.

Please note that PingPong is in-activein the traditional Delay mode.

DynamicBasic operationEntering the Dynamic menu can be done in twoways:• Press EDIT and scroll to the Dynamic

parameters. • Double click the DYNAMIC key for shortcut.The DYNAMIC key also works as on/off for theDynamic function.

The Dynamic Delay is a ducking function thatreduces the Output level of the Delay with aspecified level (Damping) when the Input signalexceeds a certain Threshold (Threshold).

ThresholdRange: -40 - 0dBSets the Input Threshold that must beexceeded to activate the “Ducking”.

ReleaseRange: 20ms - 7sec.Sets the Release time of the “Ducking” function.

DampingRange: -60 - 0dBSets the amount of damping added to thesignal during “Ducking”.

ReverseBasic operationEntering the Reverse menu can be done in twoways:• Press EDIT and scroll to the Reverse

parameters. • Double click the REVERSE key for shortcut.The REVERSE key also works as on/off for theReverse function.

The Reverse function plays back triggeredreversed chunks of the audio. There are anumber of different playback styles to choosefrom. Additionally the Reversed taps can beoffset in order to tailor the rhythmic feel of theDelay. The Offset parameter is located in theSetup menu.

RvrsThres - Reverse ThresholdSets the trigger level of the Reverse Delay.In order to retrig the Reverse Delay, the signalmust drop 6dB below the current Threshold,and then trigger the Threshold again. In Rhythm and Traditional mode, the ReverseDelay can be re-triggered by both the signal,and by the Feedback. This means that once theReverse Delay is running, the Feedbackparameter will allow the Reverse Delay to ringout like a normal Delay.

Rvrs StyleThe Reverse Style enables you to choose froma number of different Reverse strategies:

All:All taps are played back in reverse style.

1st/1st Trg:The first tap is reversed, while the rest of thetaps are played back as normal Delay taps.The “Trg” determines whether the forward tapsare triggered like the reversed taps or, simplyfreewheeling like a normal forward Delay.

2nd/2nd Trg:The second tap is reversed, while the rest ofthe taps are played back as normal Delay taps.The “Trg” determines whether the forward tapsare triggered like the reversed taps or, simplyfree wheeling like a normal forward Delay.

FilterBasic operationEntering the Filter menu can be done in twoways.• Press EDIT and scroll to the Filter

parameters. • Double click the FILTER key for shortcut.The FILTER key also works as on/off for theFilter function.

FB High Cut - Feedback - High CutRange: 19.95Hz - 20kHzHigh Cut type filter that allows you to reducethe high frequencies of the Delay. This givesyou a softer and more analog sounding Delaywhich in some cases will seem less disturbingon the overall sound, than a Delay with no High Cut.

FB Low Cut - Feedback - Low CutRange: 19.95 - 20kHzLow Cut type filter reducing the low endfrequencies of the Delay. When using Delay onsignals with low frequencies a full-range Delaymight introduce a less tight feeling in that area.Use the Low Cut filter to avoid this.

High CutRange: 19.95Hz - 20kHzHigh Cut filter allowing reduction of the highend frequencies on the source material.

Low CutRange: 19.95Hz - 20kHzLow Cut filter allowing reduction of the low end frequencies in the source material.

ChorusBasic operationEntering the Chorus menu can be done in twoways.• Press EDIT and scroll to the Chorus

parameters. • Double click the CHORUS key for shortcut.The CHORUS key also works as on/off for theChorus function.

SpeedRange: 0.05Hz - 19.95HzSets the Speed of the Chorus.

DepthRange: 0 - 100%Sets the Depth of the Chorus.

AmountRange: 0-100%Sets the amount of Chorus added to the Delaysignal.

FeedbackRange: -100 to +100The amount of processed signal that is fedback to the Input of the Chorus. When thefeedback value is negative, the Feedbacksignal is phase reversed. Use the Feedbackparameter to create a Flange effect.

Chorus TimeRange: 0 - 50msA Chorus is basically a Delay being pitch-modulated by an LFO (Low FrequencyOscillator). The typical Delay time used in aChorus is around 10-20ms. A Flanger typicallyuses a Delay time of approx. 5-10ms.

ADDITIONAL ALGORITHMS

Golden RatioEnsures a Golden Ratio between the Speedand Depth when active. If you want to createwild Chorus/Flanger sounds, you may want toturn the Golden Ratio off.

Ph Reverse - Phase ReverseReverses the phase of the left Chorus channel.This widens the stereo image of the Chorus/Flanger.

LFO CurveSets the curve of the LFO. Choose betweenSine or Triangle.

LFO PhaseAn LFO phase change, offsets one of the twoLFO’s slightly (left/right). This means thatleft/right starts the current waveform at twodifferent points.Example: If LFO phase is set to 180 degrees,left and right LFO will be exactly opposite.
