whats the deal with most delays?

 

I love a delay which happens at the 3rd (left) and 6th (right) "tap".

 

That is 3/16, 6/16.

 

Most delays Ive used only has 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 etc. WHY?!

 

The only delay which actually does what I want is Waves Supertap.

That one you can set to for example 3 and 6. (usually where the hihat and bassline happens in most trance, so a really pumpy tap delay)

 

 

why is this?

anyone care to explain? :)

 

also, whats the deal with 1/8D, 1/8T, 1/8? Most delays have these options. I reckon its values between 1/8 and 1/16 but why make it so wierd?

 

why not just base it on 16 steps (1 bar) like a normal person?? then set the tap delay to be active on one of those steps??

 

sigh.. the humanity....

 

 

ps. i probably misunderstand this greatly - so please endulge me and explain :D

 

ps2. Reasons RV9000 (i think its called) has a wonderful tap delay which u can set to any step 1-16.

How about setting the delay time in ms or hz?? most delays allow o do that.

 

sure but then its not in sync with the bpm. and searching to manually do that can be time consuming and annoying.

Have a look at this app. http://lost-memories.com/softs/ You introduce the tempo and it calculates all the delays times for diferent musical figures. quite handy.

Also, 1/4D= 1/4 + 1/8 = 3/8 = 6/16, but have a look to the next link where they explain it much better.
