Tapped is the latest effect to join the DMT Audio collection, although it's actually the first effect I started working on in 2023! Originally to be based on the ultra-rare Buchla 288 Time Domain Processor, recreating the looping section was getting too complicated, so I eventually stripped it out, and expanded on the tap side. This module has 16-steps, 3-buses to send each tap to, CV-controllable delay time and multiplier/spread controls for messing it all up!

Inputs, Outputs & Controls

Gain Sliders - Controls the volume of each tap. 100% is full, 0% is completely off.

Bus Selection Switches - Determines which of the individual BUS outputs to send the tapped signal to.

NORM Individual Outputs - Not affected by the gain sliders

ATTEN Individual Outputs - Affected by the gain sliders.

Inputs - Three individual inputs with attenuation controls.

Mod. - CV Modulation for the time with attentuation control.

Mult. - Multiplier for the base delay time. At x1, each tap is a 1/64 delay based on the host tempo.

Spread - Alters the delay time for each time on a sliding scale. Set fully anti-clockwise, the first taps are longer and then speed up. Fully clockwise, the first taps are quick and then slow down. Great for those bouncing ball delays!

Clear - Completely empties the delay buffer. Great for when you've got it in a bit of a mess!

Outputs - Four outputs. ALL - All ATTEN outputs summed together. BUS 1-3 - All ATTEN outputs split by the BUS setting on each individual tap

MENU - The button with the triangle gives you access to some Gain Slider & Bus switch Presets and Randomisation for some inspiration.

Tips

Connect the last NORM individual output into an input for feedback. There are saturation stages in the outputs so it shouldn't blow your speakers if it gets too loud!

For more fun, route the last NORM output through to other modules before sending it back to the input (i.e. filters, distortion, pitch shifters.. anything you want).
