Eventide and other stuff > KORG DL8000R DIGITAL MULTITAP DELAY

What’s this Korg DL8000R all about? Why this unit is even worth being here? How many people do really know about this FX box? Well... it’s all about TRUE STEREO 8 voice MultiTap Delays with 2 feedback paths, an LFO to modulate them all, a great parametric EQ at input stage and hicut/lowcut filters in the feedback paths and dynamic envelope + MIDI (CCs) control of what you can come up with. And TONE !!! A lot of it @18bit/48KHz.

MultiTap delays are the basis for many, many spectacular effects, from the very early great digital reverbs textures to modern plexes and multi-voice delays you all have in your multi-fx devices. This is a dedicated unit. One structure ready for all sort of tweaks... taking you to very different places, from grainy reverbs to clusters of taps fading into verb, choruses and flangers... and a mix of both, add delays to them, maybe w/Tap Tempo, mono or stereo delays with modulation and filtering, swept filters, multiTap delays creating beds of wild panning rhythms for animated comping, classic PCM42, PCM70, H3000, TC2290, TC1210, Dyno My Piano TSC delays, ducking & panning echoes with modulation, delay pads for swells and ambient space-enhanced soundscapes... vibrato and tremolo effects, even sliced panning delays and with more explorations...more results. Even 10+ seconds sound on sound looping techniques!

It’s the perfect place for the tweaker, the passionate explorer willing to dig in, jump the wall and look inside the heart and brain of time based effects in their many variations and combinations. Rhythmic proportional subdivisions are the powerful engine for vast Tap Tempo synced rhythmic effects. Combined with panning, pitch modulation and filters, you have a lot for your ears, right there. Patching input signal Envelope to most important parameters can tie fx to the human performance act energy and have it breathing with it, being a triggered modulation for a chorus, flanger or delay or a ducked echo or verb. Even a filter sweep!

There’s so much in this unit you would need a monster Eventide (with its wider openness & freedom in structures design) to get the same possibilities and extend them to farther stretches of your imagination.

The tone is always nice! Many compare the sound of the DL8000R to the legendary TC2290 Dynamic Delay. Personally tested side-by-side, I have to give credit to the word of mouth. They are impressively close, both in tone and dimensional placement of sound. It’s really that good. This is a ONE algorithm structure processor. It has a powerful LFO with sine, tri, exponential, logarithmic and random waveforms and phase offset in user selectable degrees for L/R delays sweeping. The LFO can also be triggered by your input signal for dynamic sweeps. Everything you hear is born out of this single network of 8 filtered, swept delays, with 2 separate feedback or cross-feedback paths for more intense interaction between them. So much you can do with so little. An exercise and art in limitation. Welcome to the mighty Korg DL8000R Digital Multitap Delay!
