delay lines (2)

Having dealt with reverberation and echo in a previous article (see Elektor 46, February 1979) we now take a look at how delay lines can be used to achieve a wide variety of interesting special effects such as double tracking, vibrato, phasing, chorui etc. Such applications are of particular Inter• est to the amateur musician since they can be implemented using relatively short delay lines and hence at comparatively low cost. The article Is rounded off with a look at the contribution of delay lines to studio recording tech• nlques and sound reinforcement systems.
