Stereo Ping Pong Delay — WaveWarp board

What it does

Stereo "ping-pong" delay.

Illustrating a classic variation on the theme of using simple digital delays as audio effects. The left and right channels of the stereo input are fed into separate delay lines. The outputs of these are fed back into the delays, crossing from left to right (to achieve the "ping-pong").

The raw input is added to the delayed version to achieve the wet/dry ratio.

Experiment with the delay and mixer settings to explore the interesting behaviour of this simple yet versatile combination. Widen the stereo field by adusting the left delay to be different from the right.
