SPEED/PITCH & Delay Time

®

Setting Delay Time with TAP & SPEED/PITCH

The delay time for any analog tape delay is
determined by a combination of two factors – the
distance between the heads and the speed of the
tape. On Magneto, both of these can be adjusted
independently.

Magneto’s TAP button adjusts the delay time by
changing the distance between the heads and does
not affect the pitch or fidelity of the delay signal.

The SPEED/PITCH knob adjusts the delay time by
controlling the speed of the tape. Magneto features a
true varispeed tape system with pitch artifacts as the
SPEED/PITCH knob is adjusted faster (higher pitch,
shorter delay time) or slower (lower pitch, longer
delay time). Higher tape speeds result in higher
fidelity delay repeats, while lower lower tape speeds
yield lower fidelity delay. With slower tape speeds,
the CRINKLE and WOW & FLUTTER controls affect
the sound much more than at faster speeds.

NORMAL

HALF

QUARTER

(Lowest Fidelity)

DOUBLE

(Highest Fidelity)

The total range of the SPEED/PITCH knob is a
factor of 8, where 12 o’clock noon position is normal
speed, max SPEED/PITCH knob setting is 2x speed,
minimum SPEED/PITCH knob setting is 1/4 speed,
and 1/2 speed is available at about 9 o’clock on the

SPEED/PITCH knob.

Delay RANGE: 200s minimum, 120 seconds max.

NOTE: The maximum delay time is achieved by
tapping in a 15 second delay with the SPEED/
PITCH knob at maximum (double SPEED).

Reducing the speed to minimum will multiply
this delay time by a factor of 8, resulting in a 2
minute (240 second) delay at HEAD 4.

NOTE: The minimum delay time is achieved
by applying a 10ms clock to the TAP CV
with the SPEED/PITCH knob at minimum
(quarter SPEED). Turning the SPEED/PITCH
to maximum will divide this delay time by a
factor of 8, resulting in a delay time of 1.25ms
at HEAD 4. Selecting HEAD 1 in TRIPLET mode
further divides this by a factor of 6, resulting in
a delay of 200s.

Playback Head Mechanics

The following diagrams illustrate the difference between how Head 4
functions in ECHO mode and in LOOP and SAMPLE modes.

®

NOTE: The LOOP or SAMPLE time is determined
by the TAP IN/TAP OUT interval, while the Delay
time of the HEADS 1, 2, and 3 is determined by
the Delay Time when entering LOOP or SAMPLE
mode, or by the CLOCK IN CV.

pg 9

Effect Level

DRY: Sets the level of DRY (input) signal sent to the output. Controls the
output level of the incoming unprocessed signal from the LEFT and RIGHT
INPUTS to the LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUTS. With a mono input connected to
LEFT INPUT, the dry signal will appear simultaneously at both the LEFT and
RIGHT OUTPUTS.

REC LVL: Controls the level of the incoming unprocessed signal fed into
the Delay Line Record head. LED shows signal level feeding into the tape
machine with BLUE LED indicating zero gain (no signal sent to RECORD
HEAD), GREEN LED indicating low signal (clean), AMBER LED indicating
onset of saturation, and RED LED indicating the input signal is significantly
saturating the record head. With high levels of saturation (RED LED), fat and
rounded harmonically rich tones are sent into the delay line.

TAPE MECHANICS AND REVERB

®

LOW CUT: Controls the low frequency shaping of
the echo repeats. Set to minimum for extended low
frequency bandwidth. Set to maximum for extremely
high-passed, magnetic drum style repeats with a
peaking response.

TAPE AGE: Controls the bandwidth of the tape. Set
to minimum for a fresh, full bandwidth tape. Turn
clockwise for warmer repeats. At maximum setting,
a mildly peaking filter response creates atmospheric
repeats at high feedback settings.

CRINKLE: Controls the amount and severity of tape
irregularities including friction, creases, splices,
and contaminants. Set to minimum for a fresh,
clean tape. Set to maximum for a tape that has been
mangled and chewed.

WOW & FLUTTER: Controls the amount of
mechanically related tape speed fluctuations. Turn
the knob fully counterclockwise for a perfectly tuned
tape machine or fully clockwise for a tape machine in
need of service.

SPRING: Controls the output mix of the integrated
spring reverb tank. The DRY and WET knobs control
the signals feeding into the spring reverb effect.

TRANSPORT CONTROLS

®

Allows for control of the corresponding transport
function. To activate transport controls press
TRANSPORT button below. Buttons are RED during
this operation.

INFINITE: Disables the Record head and
continuously plays the most recent delay cycle
or loop length audio.

FORWARD/REVERSE: Reverses the playback
direction of the tape from the moment the
function is engaged.

In ECHO mode, the entire tape length is heard in
reverse until REVERSE is pressed again.

In LOOP or SAMPLE Mode, the loop or sample is
played in reverse.

SCRUB AUDIO: When tape is paused, the SPEED/
PITCH knob scrubs audio.

NOTE: The audio in the scrub buffer

represents about 1 foot of tape, so the length
of audio in the buffer depends on the SPEED
knob position when PAUSE is engaged.
Slower speeds result in more recorded audio
in the scrub buffer.

MOMENTARY MODE: Power up Magneto while
holding the desired transport control button to
change between Momentary (flashes RED) and Latch
(flashes GREEN) for that transport function. CV
control will also be changed for the desired function
to either Gate (RED) or Trigger (GREEN).

Example: Tape playback is reversed only while
pressing and holding REVERSE button.

RESTART is always trigger regardless of custom
settings. By default, transport controls are all
latching switches except for RESTART.

RESTART: Restarts the playback of the loop
or sample from the starting point in LOOP or

SAMPLE mode. Aligns shifted head audio in
ECHO operation. Restarts deck immediately
from PAUSE, without mechanical lag.

PAUSE: Stops/Starts the playback of the tape
with mechanical slowdown/startup effect. The
speed of the slowdown/startup effect can be
adjusted by PLAYBACK LEVEL 4 knob when
the TRANSPORT and PAUSE buttons are RED
(transport is paused).

Pitch Quantize

®

Press and hold the TAP button at any time to enter
PITCH QUANTIZE mode (AMBER TAP LED).

This mode restricts the SPEED/PITCH knob values to
relative speeds corresponding to the pitch intervals
of user selectable scales.

To select a scale, press and hold the TRANSPORT
button and turn the SPEED/PITCH knob to scroll
through the 15 available scales. The currently
selected scale will be displayed via the four
FEEDBACK/TRANSPORT button LEDs, according to
the table below.

NOTE: When Pitch Quanitize is active, the
SPEED/PITCH range is 2 octaves (4:1 speed

range).

SPEED CV voltages are quantized to ½ steps when in
PITCH QUANTIZE mode.

SPEED CV responds to -3V to +3V, dependent on the

position of the SPEED/PITCH knob. All scales have a
two octave range, except for Chromatic which has a

1.2 octave range.

Self-Oscillation

®

Self-oscillation can create an infinite variety of
inspiring sonic textures and can allow you to play
Magneto like a musical instrument. To use self­oscillation, turn the SPEED/PITCH knob fully
counter-clockwise, turn REPEATS up to 100%, and
tap a very short delay.

No input signal is necessary for Magneto to self­oscillate. However, the tonality of the sound can be
impacted in interesting ways if an input signal is
present.

While Magneto is in self-oscillation, try adjusting the
SPEED/PITCH knob, as well as the tape mechanics
knobs (LOW CUT, TAPE AGE, CRINKLE, WOW &
FLUTTER). The oscillating sound will evolve and
change, moving through different pitches and
tonalities as the knobs are adjusted.

To lock in the pitch of the oscillating tone, press the
INFINITE transport control button. Although the
sound will still be affected by adjustments to the tape
mechanics knobs while INFINITE is engaged, the
pitch will remain locked. That is, the pitch will stop
evolving, but can be controlled with the SPEED/PITCH
knob and/or the SPEED CV input. Note that you have
the option to use PITCH QUANTIZE mode whether or
not INFINITE is engaged.

SPEED CV Input and Self-Oscillation

The SPEED CV input is calibrated for 1V/octave over
a range of -3V to +3V. When voltage is supplied to
the SPEED CV input, the SPEED/PITCH knob still
influences the the resultant speed/pitch, and the
incoming CV is added to the knob position. Zero volts
at the SPEED CV input will not cause the speed/pitch
to deviate from the knob position value. The SPEED/
PITCH knob’s effective voltage is 0V at minimum, and
+3V at maximum. The SPEED CV input adds to this
effective voltage, being limited at the top end to +3V
(fastest speed/highest pitch), and limited to -3V at
the bottom end. By using the SPEED CV input, you
can achieve a six octave range, allowing you to go
three octaves lower than would be possible using the
SPEED/PITCH knob alone without any incoming CV.

Stereo Panning and Self-Oscillation

With the PAN switch set to CENTER (and no custom
panning set), your self-oscillating tone will remain in
the center of the stereo image. However, if the PAN
switch is set to LRLR or LRRL, the self-oscillating
tone will be stereoized in a manner that depends
in part on the volume levels of each playback head.
This can be great for creating a wide stereo sound.
However, one should be aware that, for instance, with
PAN set to LRLR and PLAYBACK LEVEL knobs for
heads 2 and 4 set to minimum, the self-oscillating
tone would primarily be heard on the left side of the
stereo image.

TIP: When engaging INFINITE with very short
delay times, the rapid fading between
the endpoints of the delay buffer can add an
additional harmonic element to the captured
oscillation.

TIP: Let Chaos Reign! Using self-oscillation
is an interactive experience where Magneto
takes on a life of its own, and a kind of
feedback loop is created between Magneto
and you. Rather than aiming to dial in a
specific sound, try just setting the process in
motion and experimenting. You are likely to
discover unexpected textures and tonalities
that will lead you into inspiring new sonic
territory.

Sets delay time in ECHO mode. Sets splice in/out/
clear in LOOP mode. Sets sample record start/stop/
clear in SAMPLE mode.

TIP: When using the SHIFT head mode with a
sequenced or clocked system, sending a
synchronous clock (or divided clock) to the
RESTART CV will align the Shift pointers and
create rhythmic pitched delays that are in
synch with the input.
