Delay Module.. Digital bad?

2000-04-19 by revtor@aol.com

Ill second the wish for a delay module.
But I was wondering if it could be digital?  I mean analog is nice but with 
digital the delays can be longer with no signal degradation and maybe even 
potentially cheaper.  Maybe the digital delay cuts out some of the signal at 
the low and high end?  Could these delays be used for CV's as well as audio?  
Why is everyone so desiring an analog delay?  Anyway, as long as the delay 
time and wet/dry controls are voltage controllable any delay is fine with me. 
 Plus Blacet and Moog already have analog delay boxes out, lets make a better 
one... Loong delays with a hold option, VC as many params as possible, maybe 
be able to sync the delay to a clock or something like that too..
I was actually considering mounting a Boss delay pedal onto a MOTM panel with 
the MOTM knobs and stuff anyway...
Why is Digital Delay bad?
Why is analog Delay good?

I don't understand--a delay without signal degradation? What would that be
used for?

:)

I love analog. Even PICs give me the creeps. But I'll keep an open mind.
