Question for YC Owners RE: Delay and other FX

[obxa]

Throwing  last minute patches together for 20 song show tomorrow night w/YC73.

 

My standard thing on rock piano patches is a touch of delay, barely heard.    I've found no matter which slot I place delay in the chain that even if the depth is at 0, it can still be heard  way too much.      Does it with digital, analog or cross delays, A or B slot, AP or EP..    What am I doing wrong.?    Or is this a bug?   Firmware 1.3

 

Thanks so very much in advance!

I will take a look at this for you when I get it booted up.

This is one of the very few weaknesses of the YC.  The "Depth" knob as it applies to the Delay options is much more related to the number of delay repetitions (feedback) than to the relative amplitude of the delayed signal (wet/dry balance).  The only solution I've found is to put the instrument in both slots A and B with the delay only on one or the other and then adjust the volume of the slot with the delay until it is at the level you want.  Might be a good to post something on Ideascale asking for Yamaha to add an effect with a delay where the Depth knob primarily effects the wet/dry balance and not feedback.

ah- that makes sense. Thank you so much for the work around.  7 p.m Soundcheck. Bit of time to finish more edits.  So far loving  everything else about the YC, but naming presets and that delay thing are kinda wonky.

If you can connect Soundmondo (pc, tablet or phone), it has a librarian feature where you can rename and rearrange sets very quickly. Just remember to hit that send button after the edits.

Thanks for this!  Got shipment  late Friday.  Gonna get laptop up with little time I have, and also need to run the show.  Went down the rabbit hole of checking out sounds.     Saw there's also a librarian for sale and a bunch of artist presets.  Looks like you also contributed some cool patches??  Look forward to checking those out too.  Cheers.
