INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new D•TWO Multi-tap Rhythm Delay.

The D•TWO Multi-tap Rhythm Delay is an easy to use, high quality digital Delay unit. When it comes to Delay effects we are convinced that with this unit you are well covered. This applies for live-sound production as well as in the studio. The D•TWO covers not only all the traditional Delay functions, but also a few brand new ones. With traditional Delay units it is generally only possible to control Feedback and Level on a specified fixed Delay time. With the D•TWO you are now able to tap actual rhythm patterns consisting of up to 10 taps directly into the unit. Many will recognize the TC 2290 studio Delay unit as the Delay unit that introduced the “Dynamic Delay” function. A function that allows the Delay Output level to be actively altered by the dynamics of the Input level. A function that can be used to leave the source material clear and undisturbed while played and delicately accompanied by the Delay between phrases. Yes, this feature is also available in the D•TWO.

We hope you will have as much pleasure using the D•TWO as we had making it.

For any questions left unanswered by this manual feel free to visit our online support center; TC Support Interactive, which can be accessed via: www.tcelectronic.com

Indicates the number of repeats allowed. Unlike the Feedback parameter in most other Delay units this parameter lets you decide exactly how many repeats you want. The maximum number of controlled taps is 10.

FB Filter

Indicates the Feedback High Cut and Low Cut filter setting. At times a too precise/clear Delay can disturb the music instead of complementing it. Try reducing the highs of the Delay by adding a High Cut filter. This will simulate a more analog/softer feeling.

Filter

Indicates the overall High Cut and Low Cut filter setting.

PingPong

Indicates the currently selected type of panning. The Ping Pong effect occurs when the Panning Speed is synced to the Delay time.

SETUP

Setup

The Setup menu holds all general Setupparameters including parameters normally found in Utility, Level and I/O menus.

Basic Operation

• Press the SETUP key to enter the Setup page.

• Use the ARROW keys to select parameter.

• Use the CONTROL wheel to change parameter value.

All changes are instantly effective.

Mono/ Stereo In

The channel select on Analog Inputs is done automatically via sensing on the Input connectors.

Input Select

Dial the CONTROL wheel to select between Analog or Digital.

Analog Input When "Analog" is selected the D•TWO automatically defaults to the internal 44.1kHz clock as Sample Rate.

Digit

al Input When "Digital" is selected the D•TWO attempts to lock to the S/PDIF Input. During the lock-up period the "DI" display icon flashes indicating none or unacceptable clock, and the Outputs are muted. When lock is achieved the "DI" icon turns solid, and the Outputs are un-muted.

Clock

Analog Input When Input source is analog the following Sample Rates are available: Internal 44.1kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal

44.1kHz. Internal 48kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal 48kHz. Digital - The D•TWO locks to the incoming Digital clock.

Digit

al Input When Input Source is digital the following Sample Rates are available: Internal 44.1kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal

44.1kHz. Internal 48kHz - The D•TWO runs at internal 48kHz.

Digital - The D•TWO locks to the incoming Digital clock.

Please note that when using internal clock with external digital audio, the incoming digital audio must be in sync with the set D•TWO internal clock in order to avoid slip-samples.

***Rate Mismatch**** This Error message will occur in the

display if the D•TWO detects slipsamples. Typically this problem only occurs in very special clock setups e.g. if the D•TWO is running via internal clock, while processing audio from the Digital Input. If the incoming clock and the internal clock does not match the D•TWO will display ***Rate Mismatch****

Out Range

Sets the maximum gain range of the analog Output stage. Range: 2dBu, 8dBu, 14dBu and 20dBu.

Out level

Range: 0 to Off (-100dB) in 1dB increments. Controlling the overall digital/analog Output level.

Digital In Gain

Adjusts the digital In level. This parameter is only active when digital In is selected.

Dither

Going from one type of bit resolution to a lower, e.g. from 24 bit to 16 bit, you actually loose 8 bits of information. The process of cutting off bits is called truncation and it introduces digital distortion of low level signals, due to the lack of complete signal information. To compensate for this, “dither” must be applied. Dither is a small amount of filtered noise that generates randomization at the noise floor, ensuring a less distorted low level signal. Dithering is relevant only on digital Outputs and it is always the receiving device that determines the number of bits you must dither to. A CDR or a DAT recorder should normally be dithered to 16 bits.

SETUP

Status Bits

Sets whether the D•TWO is sending out AES/EBU (professional standard or S/PDIF (consumer standard) status bits.

Delay Unit

Select ms (milliseconds) or BPM (Beats Per Minute).

Delay Mode

Select between Stereo and Mono.

Reverse Offset

Offsets the Reverse Delay with 0-200ms. This enables you to tailor the feel of the Reverse Delay to the source material.

MIDI Tempo Sync.

Range: 2/1, 1/1, 1/2, 1/4. Locks the Delay to the incoming MIDI clock, enabling the D•TWO to be synchronized to any MIDI device, e.g. a sequencer. The D•TWO owns the ability to subdivide the incoming MIDI clock in order to adapt the Delay to very fast or very slow tempo arrangements, e.g. selecting the 1/2 setting will lower the incoming sync to half tempo.

MIDI Channel

Range: Off/1-16/Omni. Sets the responding MIDI channel of the D•TWO.

MIDI CC

Range: On/Off. Determines whether the D•TWO should respond to MIDI Continuous Controllers or not.

Program bank

Determines which bank an external MIDI device will address in the D•TWO when sending a program change. The options are: Factory, User or External. When External is selected controller #32 can be used to address either the Factory or the User bank.

Factory bank: Controller #32=0 User bank: Controller #32=1

MIDI Bulk Dump

Press ENTER to perform a Bulk Dump of all presets to an external MIDI device. The D•TWO is always ready to receive MIDI Bulk Dump information.

MIDI Sys-Ex ID

Determines the Sys-Ex ID number of the unit. All effect parameters can be changed via MIDI Sys-Ex using an external MIDI device. In order to define which unit the sent MIDI Sys-Ex information should reach, the appropriate ID number must be set.

Bypass Mode

There are three different Bypass modes:

0% Mix The Input signal is passed directly to the Output.

FX Input Shuts off the Engine Input in order to let the effect "ring out", but leaves the same amount of dry signal through the unit.

FX Output Shuts off the Engine Output in order to kill the FX instantaneously, but leaves the same amount of dry signal coming through.

Pedal Setup

The pedal Input of the D•TWO can recognize two pedals simultaneously. One on the tip, and one on the ring of the 1/4” jack connector. The Ring pedal is fixed to Tap tempo. The Tip pedal can be set to Bypass, Tap tempo or Rhythm tap. The Pedal used must have a momentary switch.

View Angle

Adjusts the intensity of the display back-light for better viewing comfort.

DELAY MODES

The D•TWO holds 3 basic Delay modes

•T

raditional Delay mode In this mode the D•TWO operates as a regular Delay unit.

•S

traight Delay mode In this mode you will have total control over each tap.

• Rhythm mode In this mode you are able to tap a specific rhythm into the unit. Afterwards full control of all taps are available.

Traditional Delay Mode

The Traditional Delay mode, makes the D•TWO work as any regular Delay unit. The delayed signal is fed back into the Delay line by the FEEDBACK % knob, thus creating Delay repeats.

The Parameters

Parameters of the Traditional Delay mode are, as the name suggests, quite similar to those of any other Delay unit.

Delay - Delay Time

Tap the DELAY/TAP key, or press the DELAY key once and dial the DELAY wheel to change the basic Delay time. The maximum tap time is 2000ms.

Feedback Level

Hit the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key and dial the DELAY wheel to change the amount of signal fed back into the Delay line. A 100% setting will loop the Delay line.

Feedback Repeats

If the Feedback Repeats setting differs from “-” you have specified the number of repeats and you are no longer in the Traditional mode.

Shuffle

The Shuffle parameter has no effect in the Traditional Delay mode.

Quantize

The Quantize parameter has no effect in the Traditional Delay mode.

Track Tap

The Track Tap parameter allows the preset to instantly track the current basic tempo, and adapt to this as opposed to using the tempo, that the current preset was stored with. This enables you to use a number of presets without having to tap the overall tempo more than once.

RhythmDcay - Rhythm Decay

The RhythmDcay parameter has no effect in the Traditional mode.

Subdivision

The Subdivision recalculates the basic Delay time accordingly. BPM equals 1/4 subdivision. To see the recalculated Delay time - press EDIT and use the CURSOR keys to select the Delay time parameter.

Press and hold the DELAY/TAP key and dial the DELAY wheel, to change the Subdivision.

Delay Line

PingPong:

The PingPong effect is not available in the Traditional mode.

Straight Delay Mode

The Straight Delay mode, utilizes a feedback strategy that gives you all the normal controls of a Delay and on top of that, the ability to control the exact number of repeats. Instead of a traditional feedback loop, the Straight mode uses a Multi-tap strategy.

Delay Line

Delay Taps

How to set up the Straight mode

Set the FEEDBACK # to anything between 1 and 10 by pressing and holding the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key while turning the DELAY wheel. The D•TWO is now in the Straight mode.

Max. Delay time

Due to the Multitap Delay strategy, the maximum Delay time available is scaled with the number of specified taps, e.g. if you have 10 repeats you will have 1000ms available on each tap, while 5 repeats would give you 2000ms on each tap.

The maximum Delay time in tot

al is: In Stereo mode: 5 sec. Delay time. In Mono mode: 10 sec. Delay time. Stereo/Mono is selected in the SETUP menu.

The Parameters

The Straight Delay mode allows you to control the exact number of repeats and additionally offers the ability to add shuffle feel to the Delay repeats.

Delay Time

Tap the DELAY/TAP key, or press the DELAY/TAP key once and dial the DELAY wheel to change the basic Delay time. The maximum tap time pr. tap is 2000ms.

Feedback Level

Hit (one time only) the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key and use the DELAY wheel to change the Decay of the repeats. A 100% setting will leave every repeat at maximum level.

DELAY MODES

Feedback #

Press and hold the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key and dial the DELAY wheel to change the exact number of Delay repeats. The maximum number of repeats is 10 or limited by the total Delay time. In case of limited repeats, the FEEDBACK # parameter will be blinking. E.g. 10 repeats of 1500ms = >10 seconds.

Shuffle

The Shuffle parameter allows you to add shuffle feel to the straight Delay repeats. The shuffle feel is added to every second repeat, by offsetting the repeat according to the percentage of the shuffle parameter. The Shuffle parameter only works on straight Subdivisions i.e. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16.

Quantize

The Quantize parameter has no effect in the Straight mode.

Track Tap

The Track Tap parameter allows the preset to instantly track the current basic tempo, and adapt to this, as opposed to using the tempo that the current preset was stored with. This enables you to use a number of presets without having to tap the overall tempo more than once.

RhythmDcay

The RhythmDcay parameter has no effect in the Straight mode.

Subdivision

The Subdivision recalculates the basic Delay time accordingly. BPM equals 1/4 subdivision.

Press and hold the DELAY/TAP key and dial the DELAY wheel, to change the Subdivision.

Additional Effects

To the Straight Delay mode the effects described below can be added: Please see detailed description on pages 21-25.

Spatial:

Gives the Delay a wider feeling either by using “left channel offset” or “Phase Reverse” of left, right or both channels.

Filter:

In a traditional feedback loop, the signal will pass the feedback filter each time it passes through the feedback loop. This is perceived as if the signal is gradually filtered more and more

- repeat after repeat. This effect can be achieved in the Straight mode by using the FB filters.

Chorus:

Adds Chorus, to smoothen the Delay repeats.

Dynamic:

A ducking function that reduces the Output level of the Delay with a specified level when the Input signal exceeds a certain Threshold.

PingPong:

The PingPong effect synchronizes panning with the tempo of the Delay repeats.

DELAY MODES

Rhythm Mode

The Rhythm mode offers a new unique feature to Delay control i.e. Rhythm Delay. Tap the rhythm that you want the D•TWO to perform on the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key. On top of this the D•TWO can help you quantize the rhythm pattern to a specific subdivision, edit the rhythm pattern, or change the level of each tap in the rhythm pattern.

Feedback %

Sets the Decay of the rhythm pattern depending on the RhythmDcay parameter. (see description on the next page).

Feedback #

Indicates the total number of taps utilized in the rhythm pattern. While tapping the rhythm, the Feedback # will be counting the number of taps in the current rhythm. Additionally the Delay time display will be indicating the total time of the over all rhythm pattern. When Quantize is inactive the total time will be displayed in ms or BPM. When Quantize is active, the total time will be expressed in number of subdivision e.g. total number of 1/16th notes.

Shuffle

Quantize

The Quantize parameter allows you to quantize the tapped rhythm according to a specific subdivision e.g. 1/16 note. In order to take full advantage of the Quantize function, a base tempo must be tapped before tapping the actual rhythm. The Quantize function is non-destructive during edits, meaning that the original tap values are maintained until the quantized rhythm is stored in a preset, enabling you to check out several quantizations before the setting is stored.

In order to use Quantize you must tap a regular tempo on the DELAY/TAP key before you tap the rhythm.

Track tap

The Track tap parameter allows the preset to instantly track the current basic tempo, and adapt to this, as opposed to using the tempo that the current preset was stored with. This enables you to adapt a specific Rhythm pattern to any tempo.

How to set up enter Rhythm mode

Simply tap the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM and the D•TWO will instantly create the rhythm pattern that you tap. The “RHYTHM” icon in the Delay time display indicates that you are now in Rhythm mode. Tap the DELAY/TAP key to exit the Rhythm mode.

Max. Delay time

Due to the Multitap Delay strategy, the maximum Delay time available is scaled with the number of specified taps, e.g. if you have 10 taps, you will have 1000ms available on each tap, while 5 repeats would give you 2000ms on each tap.

The maximum Delay time in tot

al is: In Stereo: 5 sec. Delay time. In Mono: 10 sec. Delay time. Stereo/Mono is selected in the SETUP menu.

The Parameters

The Rhythm mode allows you to tap and edit a specific rhythm pattern. The maximum number of taps in a pattern is 10 taps.

Delay Time

Sets the basic tempo of the tapped rhythm. When using Quantize the basic tempo must be tapped/set before tapping the rhythm. The basic tempo is indicated when the DELAY/TAP key is enabled. The maximum tap time pr. tap is 2000ms.

DELAY MODES

RhythmDcay - Rhythm Decay

This parameter sets the Decay style of the Rhythm pattern. A Rhythm pattern is always fed back from the last tap, meaning that the entire pattern is repeated when Feedback % is different from 0.

Normal When the Normal Decay style is selected, the Rhythm pattern will decay, tap by tap, as a standard Delay. When Feedback % is set to “0”, the pattern will decay over the total pattern time (total pattern time is indicated in the Delay time display when the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM is selected).

tep When Step Decay style is selected, the Rhythm pattern will decay pattern by pattern, meaning that all taps in a pattern will be played back at equal level. The level is lowered as the pattern is repeated. When Feedback % is set to “0”, the current pattern will be played back once at full level.

Subdivision: In Rhythm mode the Subdivisions are used as the quantization grid. This means that when Quantize is active, the Subdivision determines the smallest increment that a tap can be, e.g. if the base tempo is 500ms (120BPM) and the Subdivision is set to 1/16, the shortest time of a Rhythm tap will be 125 ms (500/4=125ms).

Press and hold the DELAY/TAP key and dial the DELAY wheel, to change the Subdivision.

Rhythm Tap Edit

When in the Rhythm mode the tapped Rhythm pattern can be edited tap by tap. This gives you the possibility to change the Rhythm pattern that you just tapped, or to build a new pattern from scratch. The Tap Edit menu contains three parameters for each tap: The Tap number, the Tap level, the Tap time.

How to enter/exit Tap Edit

Press and hold the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key to enter the Tap Edit menu. The Feedback # parameter will be blinking while in Tap Edit. Press any key (except ARROW UP/ARROW DOWN) to exit the Tap Edit menu.

The Tap number

Indicates the number of the current Tap. Use the DELAY wheel to scroll through the ten taps. The Delay time display indicates the total Delay time of the Rhythm pattern up to the end of the selected Tap, in either ms/BPM or number of Subdivisions (depending on whether Quantize is on or off).

The Tap level

Sets the level of the current Tap. Press the ARROW UP/ARROW DOWN keys to edit the level. When a tap is muted, it is still valid as a time factor. This can be used for “filling up” a bar e.g. if you feed back a Rhythm pattern that contains six 1/8th notes in a 4/4 pattern, the rhythmic feel will change, as the pattern does not fit a whole bar. Alternatively a muted Tap of 2/8 can be placed as the last tap, giving no audio, but creating a full bar repeat length i.e. 8/8 (2/8+6/8=8/8= 1 bar). The levels available are: Mute, -12dB, -6dB, -3dB, 0dB(default), +3dB and +6dB.

The Tap time

Sets the time from the previous to the current tap. When Quantize is inactive, the Tap time is set in ms increments. When Quantize is active, the Tap time is set in the current Subdivision e.g. number of 1/8th notes. Dial the CONTROL wheel to change the Tap time. Turning the Tap time fully counter clockwise will set the Tap to “Off” meaning that

DELAY MODES

the current Tap is disabled. Taps cannot change order. This means that if a tap is placed “on top” of a second tap, the second tap automatically will be set to “Off”.

Additional Effects

To the Traditional Delay mode the effects described below can be added: Please see detailed description on this and the following pages.

Spatial:

Gives the Delay a wider feeling either by using “left channel offset” or “Phase Reverse” of left, right or both channels.

Filter:

Enables a High and a Low Cut filter in the Feedback loop and in the actual Delay line.

Chorus:

Adds Chorus, to smooth the Delay repeats.

Dynamic:

A ducking function that reduces the Output level of the Delay with a specified level when the Input signal exceeds a certain Threshold.

PingPong:

The PingPong effect is not available in the Traditional mode.

PingPong

Basic operation

Entering the PingPong menu can be done in two ways:

• Press PINGPONG and scroll to the Pingpong parameters.

• Double click the PINGPONG key for shortcut.

The PINGPONG key also works as on/off for the PingPong function.

PingPong basically means that the Delay is panned in accordance with the Tapped Delay time.

Style

Range: L-R, L-C-R and Dynamic The Style parameter determines how the signal is panned.

L-R: The L-R mode will pan the signal hard left, hard right.

L-C-R: Pannes the taps left, center and right accordingly.

Dynamic: This setting will fit the number of Delay repeats with the number of panning positions. For example a Delay with 5 repeats would use 5 pan positions from left to right.

Please note that PingPong is in-active in the traditional Delay mode.

DELAY MODES

Dynamic

Basic operation

Entering the Dynamic menu can be done in two ways:

• Press EDIT and scroll to the Dynamic parameters.

• Double click the DYNAMIC key for shortcut.

The DYNAMIC key also works as on/off for the Dynamic function.

The Dynamic Delay is a ducking function that reduces the Output level of the Delay with a specified level (Damping) when the Input signal exceeds a certain Threshold (Threshold).

Threshold

Range: -40 - 0dB Sets the Input Threshold that must be exceeded to activate the “Ducking”.

Release

Range: 20ms - 7sec. Sets the Release time of the “Ducking” function.

Damping

Range: -60 - 0dB Sets the amount of damping added to the signal during “Ducking”.

Reverse

Basic operation

Entering the Reverse menu can be done in two ways:

• Press EDIT and scroll to the Reverse parameters.

• Double click the REVERSE key for shortcut.

The REVERSE key also works as on/off for the Reverse function.

The Reverse function plays back triggered reversed chunks of the audio. There are a number of different playback styles to choose from. Additionally the Reversed taps can be offset in order to tailor the rhythmic feel of the Delay. The Offset parameter is located in the Setup menu.

RvrsThres - Reverse Threshold

Sets the trigger level of the Reverse Delay. In order to retrig the Reverse Delay, the signal must drop 6dB below the current Threshold, and then trigger the Threshold again. In Rhythm and Traditional mode, the Reverse Delay can be re-triggered by both the signal, and by the Feedback. This means that once the Reverse Delay is running, the Feedback parameter will allow the Reverse Delay to ring out like a normal Delay.

Rvrs Style

The Reverse Style enables you to choose from a number of different Reverse strategies:

All: All taps are played back in reverse style.

1st/1st T

rg: The first tap is reversed, while the rest of the taps are played back as normal Delay taps. The “Trg” determines whether the forward taps are triggered like the reversed taps or, simply freewheeling like a normal forward Delay.

2nd/2nd

rg: The second tap is reversed, while the rest of the taps are played back as normal Delay taps. The “Trg” determines whether the forward taps are triggered like the reversed taps or, simply free wheeling like a normal forward Delay.

Odd/Odd Trg

The Odd numbered taps are reversed, while the even of the taps are played back as normal Delay taps. The “Trg” determines whether the forward taps are triggered like the reversed taps or, simply freewheeling like a normal forward Delay.

Even/Even Trg

The Even numbered taps are reversed, while the odd of the taps are played back as normal Delay taps. The “Trg” determines whether the forward taps are triggered like the reversed taps or, simply freewheeling like a normal forward Delay.

ADDITIONAL ALGORITHMS

To each of the described Delay modes the following effects can be added.

Spatial

Basic operation

Entering the Spatial menu can be done in two ways.

• Press EDIT and scroll to the Spatial parameters.

• Double click the SPATIAL key for shortcut.

The SPATIAL key also works as on/off for the Spatial function.

Offset L

Range: +/-200ms Offsets the Left channel by +/- 200ms. The Offset is always added to the Main Delay time. The Offset is independent of the Tap function.

Phase Reverse

Range: L, R L&R With the Phase Reverse parameter you can reverse the phase of the Delay left, Delay right or the entire Delay signal.

Filter

Basic operation

Entering the Filter menu can be done in two ways.

• Press EDIT and scroll to the Filter parameters.

• Double click the FILTER key for shortcut.

The FILTER key also works as on/off for the Filter function.

FB High Cut - Feedback - High Cut

Range: 19.95Hz - 20kHz High Cut type filter that allows you to reduce the high frequencies of the Delay. This gives you a softer and more analog sounding Delay which in some cases will seem less disturbing on the overall sound, than a Delay with no High Cut.

FB Low Cut - Feedback - Low Cut

Range: 19.95 - 20kHz Low Cut type filter reducing the low end frequencies of the Delay. When using Delay on signals with low frequencies a full-range Delay might introduce a less tight feeling in that area. Use the Low Cut filter to avoid this.

High Cut

Range: 19.95Hz - 20kHz High Cut filter allowing reduction of the high end frequencies on the source material.

Low Cut

Range: 19.95Hz - 20kHz Low Cut filter allowing reduction of the low end frequencies in the source material.

Chorus

Basic operation

Entering the Chorus menu can be done in two ways.

• Press EDIT and scroll to the Chorus parameters.

• Double click the CHORUS key for shortcut.

The CHORUS key also works as on/off for the Chorus function.

Speed

Range: 0.05Hz - 19.95Hz Sets the Speed of the Chorus.

Depth

Range: 0 - 100% Sets the Depth of the Chorus.

Amount

Range: 0-100% Sets the amount of Chorus added to the Delay signal.

Feedback

Range: -100 to +100 The amount of processed signal that is fed back to the Input of the Chorus. When the feedback value is negative, the Feedback signal is phase reversed. Use the Feedback parameter to create a Flange effect.

Chorus Time

Range: 0 - 50ms A Chorus is basically a Delay being pitchmodulated by an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator). The typical Delay time used in a Chorus is around 10-20ms. A Flanger typically uses a Delay time of approx. 5-10ms.

ADDITIONAL ALGORITHMS

Golden Ratio

Ensures a Golden Ratio between the Speed and Depth when active. If you want to create wild Chorus/Flanger sounds, you may want to turn the Golden Ratio off.

Ph Reverse - Phase Reverse

Reverses the phase of the left Chorus channel. This widens the stereo image of the Chorus/ Flanger.

LFO Curve

Sets the curve of the LFO. Choose between Sine or Triangle.

LFO Phase

An LFO phase change, offsets one of the two LFO’s slightly (left/right). This means that left/right starts the current waveform at two different points. Example: If LFO phase is set to 180 degrees, left and right LFO will be exactly opposite.
