The E-580 is a very nice and clean sounding digital delay module with resampling and different operating modes (clean, BBD and tape).
operating modes:
- clean
- BBD: simulates a bucket brigade device (BBD) based delay
- tape: simulates a tape echo
The delay output always gives the full delay time set with the according control, the tap output gives a delay time which stands in a percentual relationship to the delay time. This value is being set with the Tap-Offset control and/or the offset CV. Send the two outputs to two channels with hard L/R panning and you will get nice ping pong delays.
Feedback can be either positive or negative and goes up almost to a very dense self-oscillation. A jumper on the PCB sets if the fed back signal comes from the delay out or the tap out. Latter setting gives very interesting effects when modulating the tap parameter.
