# Delay

![Delay](/files/-LuiShULB--ZnrbcK8ow)

A [Delay](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay_\(audio_effect\)) plugin. It stores and then repeats the input.

Without adjusting the W/D of the effect, it will just delay the input by the given amount without letting through any of the original signal. Adjust how much W/D is applied to achieve the desired effect.

## X/Y Grid

* **DELAY:** Y axis of grid, adjusts time between signal repetitions. 
* **FDBK:** X axis of grid, adjusts amount of signal repetitions.

## LFO

* **RATE:** adjusts LFO frequency.
* **AMNT:** adjusts the strength of the LFO.

{% hint style="info" %}
The LFO shape for the Delay plugin is a [half-wave rectified sine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Half-wave_rectified_sine.svg).
{% endhint %}

## Other

* **Slider:** adjusts output gain.
