SPIN<br />
SPIN sets the rate of WANDER. SPIN is a log control<br />
with a period of 8. In English, this means that if you<br />
increase SPIN by eight units, the amount of audible<br />
spin increases by a factor of two. There is always some<br />
spin--even with SPIN at 0.<br />

Delay<br />
There is a trade-off between NUMBER and SPIN;<br />
lower NUMBERs increase spin speed.<br />
Note: After changing SPIN or LENGTH, the voices<br />
take a while to stabilize. Faster SPIN settings stabilize<br />
faster.<br />
SLOPE<br />
SLOPE controls the amplitude of the delays over time.<br />
Figure 4.2 shows the decay characteristic with SLOPE<br />
all the way down. The variation in level is linear on a log<br />
scale as shown. Overall level is adjusted to keep the<br />
loudness constant. Figure 4.3 shows the decay characteristic<br />
with SLOPE midway up. Figure 4.4 shows the<br />
decay characteristic with SLOPE all the way up.<br />
LENGTH<br />
The delay of each voice is equal to the LENGTH setting<br />
divided by the number of voices set with NUMBER.<br />

WANDER<br />
With WANDER set to 0, the voices are absolutely fixed<br />
to their constant ratio apart. An impulse put in without<br />
wander will sound like a single delay line with feedback.<br />
As you add wander, delays go backwards and forwards<br />
randomly in respect to each other.<br />
