Re: thoughts on control voltage delay

I'll second that. It will lock it tight in sync. But... it is constantly
looking at two 'taps' to set the sync-point... and even pulling or patching a
patchcord tied to it's 'tap input' will confuse it, thinking (so to speak) that
the noise was something it's supposed to count. (Not really an issue...
just saying).
One thing about the 'tap tempo'.... (the one drawback is that it
won't allow the user to offset that tempo any. I find that very oten, it's too
perfect... that you get better effects by the tempo NOT being in perfect
sync, but rather, slightly out of sync. And the best way... IMO... is to listen
to the slapback, balancing the tempo of the sound(s) rhythm, against the tempo
of the delay... and offsetting the two.
I've 'wondered' from the original point... but, when one tries to
sync any type of delay... it's pretty much the same factor. This is one case
where perfect sync may not be desirable... but rather, an offset of
perfect sync, or slightly faster or slower... but listening to the result to set
the timing.

Voltage-controlled analog delays (Blacet, Moog, etc.) provide a CV
input for delay time, but some digital delays offer another cool
option: tap tempo. You may not think of it as "voltage control," but
the Tap Tempo input on Boss delays (and surely others) will respond
to a modular's pulse or square waves. Think of it as a way to "hard
sync" the delay to a clock.
