The very nature of Modular music styles means that quickly recording and layering audio sequences and patterns is an incredibly popular way of composing and improvising. With his module 4ms allow you to capture audio in real time and then play it back in a wonderfully diverse manner and with, of course, Voltage Control over the way you do it.

The DLD allows you to record audio from the input, instantly loop a portion of it, add external effects to the loop through a handy Send and Return circuit, change the length of the playback time, reverse the audio, Freeze the output on a particular snippet, do short echo style effects...the whole lot, all synchronized to the rest of your rig through advanced Clock inputs (or it can be the Master clock in your system). Did we mention that there's actually two of these wondrous recording devices in the one modules (they don't call it the Dual Looping Delay for nothing)?

Here's what 4ms have to say about it:

Dual Looping Delay from 4ms Company, designed by 4ms and Gary Hall

The Dual Looping Delay (DLD) is an advanced audio processor for creative synthesis. Not a tape or analog emulation but a modern crystal-clear digital delay, the DLD combines features of delay, looping, and sample-tight synchronization for powerful and dynamic sound capture and modification. The DLD is designed to integrate seamlessly with modular timebase and sequencing devices such as the 4ms Quad Clock Distributor (QCD), etc.

What is a "Looping Delay"?

Modern looping devices grew directly from hardware digital delays of the late 70s and early 80s. A looping delay, modeled on units such as the classic Lexicon PCM42, has the very long storage times associated with dedicated looping, but without triggered record and playback functions.
By default, a looping delay records and plays continuously, though recording can be suspended at any time with Infinite Repeat. Sustain of delays and loops is mainly accomplished with regeneration, allowing an organic, evolving approach to sound creation as new material replaces old, more or less gradually. The 4ms Dual Looping Delay also provides advanced clock input and output facilities that allow for locking delayed and looped material with sequencers and rhythmic devices.


Key Features:

Two independent delay/loop channels, synchronized to a common time base
Almost 3 minutes delay/loop time per channel (2:54) in default storage mode (16-bit)
48kHz/16-bit sampling rate, option available for 24-bit storage
Extremely quiet, low noise and low jitter design
Normaled connections of input and output for flexible use in mono, stereo, or dual mode
Tap tempo button and clock Ping input set the basis for one "beat"
Delay/loop time set as a number of musical beats (or fractions of beats) using the Time knob, switch, and CV jack
Sample-accurate clock output for perfect synchronization
Loop clock outputs for each channel
Time switches change range of Time knob from 1/8th notes up to 32 bars
Digital feedback, up to 110%
Delay Level control, independent of dry/wet signal mix
Infinite Hold mode disables recording input and fixes regeneration at exactly 100%
Reverse mode plays memory contents backwards
With an infinite loop locked, knobs or CV can "window" around memory, by shifting the loop
Triggered toggle inputs for Infinite Hold and Reverse
Send and Return on each channel for feedback with external modules
CV jacks to control Time, Level, and Feedback
As new features are developed, firmware can be updated by playing an audio file into the DLD

  • Standard shipping is free on orders over €100. Express shipping is available on orders over €100, and free on orders over €400.

Poland orders:

  • Standard shipping is free on orders over 250 PLN. Express shipping is free on orders over 500 PLN.

What about local taxes?

By default prices on the site include sales tax at 20%. The precise sales tax rate for your country will be calculated at checkout.

Do you ship to my country?

We ship to all EU member states from our warehouse in Warsaw, Poland. Add an item to your cart and enter your country and postcode to see the available shipping options and prices for your location. If you have any questions about shipping to your country, drop us an email at info@signalsounds.eu and we'll be happy to help.

Shipping methods

All EU orders are shipped via UPS. We offer two service levels:

  • UPS Standard – our default shipping option. Delivery times vary by country (see estimated delivery times below).
  • UPS Express Saver – next business day delivery to most EU destinations.

Each product page shows the estimated delivery time for your location, so you'll always know what to expect before you order.

These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.

Dispatch times

Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.

If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Pre-orders

If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
