[ OPERATION MANUAL 1.0 ]!

Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing Relapse.!
Relapse is an innovative take on the traditional tape-delay concept. It offers three fully-
featured delay modules, per-band frequency shifters, tape saturators, and multimode
filters. Add to this our now standard collection of neutral cross-overs, stereo LFOs,
envelope followers and M/S mixing, and the possibilities become endless.!
Relapse is not just a delay device—it is a bona fide chaos designer.!
Examples of applications:!
- Classic modulated tape-delays.!
- Panned and filtered multi-tap delays, with cross-tap feedback.!
- Arpeggiated frequency shifter effects.!
- Tape saturation effects.!
- Wah-wah effects.!
- Chorus and flanger effects.!
- Synced reverse delay effects and granular re-pitching.!
And all of these can be performed in multiband mode!!

2. BAND ON / MUTE / SOLO / BYPASS!
2.1. Band On/Off— Toggles the band on or off. This only applies to the Lo and Hi
bands, as the Mid band is always active. If either the Hi or Lo bands are turned
off, then Relapse functions as a dual-band effect. If they are both switched off, it
acts as a single-band effect.!
2.2. Mute — Renders the band in question entirely silent.!
Note: Mute is deactivated in Serial mode.
2.3. Solo — Renders both other bands silent, unless they also have their Solo button
turned on. This allows you to quickly audition the output of the soloed band.!
Note: This control overrides the Mute control. If both buttons are switched on, the
Mute button ceases to have any effect.
Note: Solo is deactivated in Serial mode.
2.4. Bypass — Completely bypasses the band's effects mix controls, thus resulting in
a dry audio signal. !
