a nice dub delay...

[boonier]

Whats the key to writing a proper authentic-sounding dub delay?

i've written a very simple single delay line with feedback  & saturation, but I've got my ears set on something like the mda DubDelay. I has a lovely phasey character to it...

any ideas?

well there should be a filter in the feedback line.. i'm not sure what exactly is an authentic sounding dub delay, but for me properly set up filter in the feedback path sounds dub enough.

the tape delay from the LocalIn helpfile might be a good starting  
point ...
//from the help file ...
(
z = SynthDef("tape", {
        var local, in, amp;
       
        in = AudioIn.ar([1,2]);
       
        amp = Amplitude.kr(Mix.ar(in));
        in = in * (amp > 0.02); // noise gate
       
        local = LocalIn.ar(2);
        local = OnePole.ar(local, 0.4);
        local = OnePole.ar(local, -0.08);
       
        local = Rotate2.ar(local[0], local[1], 0.2);
         
        local = DelayN.ar(local, 0.25, 0.25);
       
        local = LeakDC.ar(local);
        local = ((local + in) * 1.25).softclip;
               
        LocalOut.ar(local);
       
        Out.ar(0, local * 0.1);
}).play;
)

i dont know how useful this might be, in the summer a friend and I had a
gig as dub dj's, he played the records, and
I put delay on them using this patch, it has a tap-tempo control so you
can have the delay be a subdivision of the beat.
The delay input is gated with a .perc envelope, which (the slightly odd
part) is triggered from Pd, where I had a bonk~ object
looking for particular parts of the beat, eg the snare and the hihats.
The .perc envelope has a nice sound in this context, because you can add
delay to just these sounds. There is also a sampling part of the patch,
i cant remember whether it actually worked tho ;)

...it has a filter too, which is nothing special, use the T key to tap
the tempo, and the F key to switch the filter in/out.

(it requires BoxGrid)
