What it does

Two-voice hand-off delay

A hemiola is three-against-two: two pulses of different grouping overlapping. Hemiola is a delay built from two voices — a Main echo and a Follower at a snapped musical Ratio — that interlock. The signature Undertow control crossfades level and feedback between them: at full, the Main announces and fades early while the Follower lingers and fades after, so a quick statement becomes a sustaining wash.

The controls
  • TIMECentral echo time, or a synced division.
  • RATIOThe Follower’s musical subdivision of the Main.
  • UNDERTOWCrossfades level and feedback between the two voices.
  • FEEDBACKOverall repeats, hard-clamped and soft-saturated.
  • FILTERTone of the repeats.
  • MIXWet over a full-level dry.
