- 12:51Switching the time dial to tap tempo, and standard versus ping pong
- 15:11The flower dial, and the reverb, flanger and chorus behind the motion control
- 18:40Sit, and the caution about phasing on low-end bass below zero

- 27:38Routing a drum bus into the sidechain input in AUM to drive the flower
What it does
A delay split into two halves. The echo side carries level, feedback, tempo-synced divisions down to 64th triplets, tap tempo and a ping pong mode that moves left, right, then centre. The flower side is a stereo widener with one of three effects behind it, reverb, flanger or chorus, shaped by a motion dial. A sit control tilts the low end so the signal fits a mix, and a sidechain input can drive the flower section from another track.
In the demo
Jade runs it on guitar through an amp chain, then on drums where the delay divisions rewrite the groove, then on piano and a hummed vocal. She wires a drum bus into the sidechain in AUM so the reverb follows the kit.
Worth knowing
Jade flags phasing on heavy low-end bass when sit is pushed below zero. The effects are deliberately subtle, so anyone wanting a mangled, extreme delay will want something else.
