Then, weimagined a series of plug-ins that would blend the best of yesterday’s sound withtoday’s technology. Finally, we brought these elements together, and created the plugins that would realize our vision. The result is the new Waves Hybrid Line.From slap-back echo, ping-pong delay, and tempo-sync with modulation, to filtering,flanging, phasing, and more, H-Delay delivers real old school effects, controlled by asuper intuitive interface.3Waves H-Delay Hybrid DelayUser Guide
1.3 Concepts and TerminologyTape Delay Effect – Certain vintage tape delays offered an option to change the delaytime by changing the tape’s motor speed. This produced a pitch change, as the alreadyrecorded part was now played at a different speed. The pitch returns to normal when therecorded piece in the new speed reached the playback head. We have emulated thisbehavior in the Delay time control.Delay Modulation – Using a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) and triangle waveform tocontrol the delay time, Delay Modulation produces effects ranging from flanging andchorus to frequency modulation. Oscillation time can be set using either an Hz value, aBPM multiple, or a note value, e.g. 1/4 note, 1/8 note, 1/16 note, etc.Ping Pong Delay – A stereo effect that sounds like the input signal is bouncing betweenthe left and right output channels, Ping Pong Delay is achieved by using two delay linesthat feed one another, rather than feeding themselves as in normal stereo delay mode.This effect requires a Feedback value greater than 1.LoFi – In early digital delay devices, the sample rate was often reduced to allow greaterdelay values using the same memory chip, causing reduced frequency range. In LoFimode, H-Delay emulates this behavior, while the delay time range remains the same.Analog – Choose between 4 Analog Modes which correspond to sound qualities whichare usually associated with and perceived as analog sound.MIDI Control – H-Delay includes a MIDI node which opens upon instantiation of theplug-in. To enable MIDI control of H-Delay, assign a MIDI track to the node. All H-Delaycontrols (excluding Output Meter) support standard MIDI Learn procedures. (Apple Logicand Ableton Live each have their own MIDI functionality which is supported by H-Delay.)Waves H-Delay Hybrid DelayUser Guide4
1.4 ComponentsWaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, whichwe call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor givesyou the flexibility to choose a configuration suitable for your material.H- Delay is available in 3 channel configurations: H-Delay Mono (mono-to-mono) H-Delay Stereo (stereo-to-stereo) H-Delay M S (mono-to-stereo)Waves H-Delay Hybrid DelayUser Guide5
Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide When H-Delay is placed on an auxiliary track and fed using track sends, set theMix control to 100, and balance your wet/dry mix is done using the host mixer. When H-Delay is used as an insert effect, use H-Delay’s Mix control to set thewet/dry mix. First roughly set the delay time wanted, using the big Delay knob, time display, orthe Tap Pad. In MS Sync mode, Delay Time is set manually (in milliseconds); inHost and BPM modes, Delay Time corresponds to BPM note values. When using the Tap Pad, Delay Time is set as the interval between the last twoclicks on the pad. In Host and BPM Sync modes, the Delay Time will bequantized to the nearest note value. In Host mode, H-Delay displays your host application’s current BPM. Tomanually change the tempo, switch to BPM mode. For a “bouncing” stereo effect, press the Ping Pong button. At settings of 1 to 100, Feedback controls the amount of delay repetition decay;at settings of 100 to 200, it controls the delay repetition build-up. Depending onthe delay setting, it can get very loud, very quickly. For more of a vintage, low fidelity sound, press the LoFi button. Set the HP and LP Filters as needed. Use the link control to move both filterssimultaneously, like a band-pass filter. Experiment with different modulation speed and depth settings until you achievethe desired effect. For example, a short delay setting with slow modulation cancreate a great flanging effect. Use the Analog control to alter the sonic character of the H-Delay effect. Use the Output and Mix controls to set proper output levels.Waves H-Delay Hybrid DelayUser Guide6

3.2 H-Delay ControlsIn addition to support of all Digidesign control surfaces, H-Delay includes a MIDI nodewhich opens upon instantiation of the plug-in. To enable MIDI control of H-Delay, assigna MIDI track to the node. All H-Delay controls (excluding Output Meter) support standardMIDI Learn procedures. (Apple Logic has its own MIDI functionality which is supportedby H-Delay.)Delay controls the delay time.Range: 1 to 3500 ms or BPM multiple (e.g. 1/4 note, 1/8 note, 1/16 note, etc.)Default: 1/8D note (Host sync)Time and BPM Display shows the delay time value, in MS Sync mode, displayed inmilliseconds; in Host and BPM Sync modes, displayed in note units. Values are setusing the mouse as well as the Delay control. When switching from MS mode toBPM mode (or vice versa), the display will show the nearest approximate value.Range: 1 to 3500 ms or BPM multiple (e.g. 1/4 note, 1/8 note, 1/16 note, etc.)Sync determines whether delay time is set according to host tempo or manually.Range: Host (syncs to the host application BPM setting) BPM (syncs to a manual user setting) MS (allows manual setting, in milliseconds)Default: HostWaves H-Delay Hybrid DelayUser Guide8
Depth controls the amount of delay modulation applied.Range: 0 to 100Default: 0Rate sets the modulation LFO cycle rate. In BPM or Host Sync mode, the rate valueis set according to a multiplier of the BPM; in MS Sync mode, the rate value isexpressed in Hz.Range: 0.1 to 6000 Hz or BPM multiples (note values)Default: 0.1Ping Pong activates/de-activates the ping pong delay effect.

electromagnetic waves, like radio waves, microwaves, light, and x-rays are examples of transverse waves. Longitudinal waves travel through a medium in a direction parallel to the direction of travel of the wave. Mechanical waves such as sound waves, seismic waves created by earthquakes, and explosions are all examples of longitudinal waves.
Q: What are mechanical waves? A: Waves that require a medium in which to travel. A medium is the _ that waves travel through o Mediums can be solid, liquid, or gas Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves, seismic waves, ocean waves, etc Q: Describe two types of mechanical waves.

the phase delay x through an electro-optic phase shifter, the antennas are connected with an array of long delay lines. These delay lines add an optical delay L opt between every two antennas, which translates into a wavelength dependent phase delay x. With long delay lines, this phase delay changes rapidly with wavelength,
electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light. Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see.
Properties of EM Waves Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light Because em waves travel at a speed that is precisely the speed of light, light is an electromagnetic wave Electromagnetic waves carry energy as they travel through space, and this energy can be transferred to objects
A wave a moving disturbance. (Sound, water waves, etc. make some material substance move as they go by. Electromagnetic waves, such as light or radio waves, make electric and magnetic fields change strength.) Transverse waves: The medium is displaced perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Examples: light, string waves, water waves .
