Bucket Brigade Delay Eurorack

Synthrotek has introduced the dly a pt2399 bucket brigade style delay for eurorack modular systems.

Bucket brigade delay eurorack.

A bucket brigade or bucket brigade device bbd is a discrete time analogue delay line developed in 1969 by f. The pt2399 ic delivers warm and lush analog sounding tones the ic is partially digital. There are two sections each allows a individual mixture of the delay taps at mix outputs that have a dry wet control. 8192 stage bucket brigade delay line.

The dly is similar in tone to our echo eurorack module but its features make it unique in its own right. The maximum delay time can be increased using the time cv input delay time maxes out at 465ms but the increased time comes at the cost of fidelity and a bit of high frequency clock noise bleed. The synthrotek dly is a pt2399 bucket brigade style delay module. Voltage controlled bucket brigade delay the analog delay unit is a finely tuned circuit designed to enhance the source material by adding depth and warmth.

Much more than a delay effects module the doepfer a 188 1 eurorack bucket brigade delay module can create a wide range of timbres you can even use it for karplus strong synthesis techniques. I wanted a bucket brigade delay bbd effect in studio one. Here s what they have to say about it. Bucket brigade delay chorus flanging and more.

A brand new analog delay module designed around a pair of 4096 bucket brigade delay line bbd ics to produce a distinct analog delay effect. The pt2399 ic delivers lush analog sounding tones the ic is partially digital. Bucket brigade integrated circuits like the panasonic matsushita mn3005 or reticon sad 1024 incorporated thousands of capacitive elements controlled by a clock. Learn more lifeforms eurorack synthesizer modules.

Although some analog delays e g binson echorec were based on tape others used analog bucket brigade technology. The name bbd stands for bucket brigade device in reference to a line of people passing buckets of water to quickly extinguish a fire. Six parallel delay taps with single outputs. Delay based on a bucket brigade device bbd.

In the video demo above synthrotek s steve harmon introduces the new module and compares it to their echo delay module. The pt2399 ic delivers lush analog sounding tones the ic is partially. The maximum delay time when shipped is set at 9 10ths of a second but this can be adjusted up to 2 seconds. It consists of a series of capacitance sections c 0 to c n the stored analogue signal is moved along the line of capacitors one step at each clock cycle the name comes from analogy with the term bucket brigade used for a line of.

Patch an lfo into it to create flanger effects. The dly is similar in tone to our echo eurorack module but its features make it unique in its own right.
