DPS-85 manual

DPS-85 is a delay and pitch shifter. Everything is on one panel. This page says what each control does.

Installation

After you buy, Lemon Squeezy emails you a receipt with a download link and your licence key. Download the installer for your system and run it. If DPS-85 doesn't appear in your host afterwards, rescan your plugins.

Activation

Enter the licence key from your receipt. Activation needs an internet connection once per computer.

Controls

TIME / MODE

Ten positions, in two groups.

• Delay: 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 ms, plus INV, a reverse delay.
• Pitch Shift: 1 and 2 are two response characters. 1 is faster, 2 is smoother. INV is a reversed pitch shift.

PITCH

Sets the pitch shift, from one octave down to one octave up.

FINE

In the pitch-shift modes, FINE is fine tuning.

In the delay modes, it scales the delay time from ×0.5 to ×1.0. The pitch of the echoes bends as you move it.

FEEDBACK (LEVEL)

Sets the amount of repeats. At the top of its range the effect self-oscillates.

MIX (BALANCE)

Sets the balance between the direct signal and the effect.

SYNC

Snaps the delay time to the host tempo as a note value.

LOOP

Sets the length of the pitch-shift loop, from ×1/4 to ×4.

VINTAGE

Switches in a model of 1980s 8-bit converters and companding. The tone gets grittier and darker.

HOLD

Freezes what is in the effect's memory and loops it.

EFFECT

Bypass switch.

Presets

DPS-85 ships with 15 factory presets. You can save your own alongside them.
