Panning Delay is an effect on the RC-505 and RC-505mkII. It moves a delay sound alternately between left and right. It was added in the RC-505's version 2.0 update.

Parameters[]

Name Value Description Notes
Time 1ms–1000ms, 𝅘𝅥𝅰–𝅗𝅥 Specifies the delay time from the original sound until the delay sound is heard.
Feedback 0–100 Specifies the proportion of delay sound that is returned to the input.
E.Level 0–100 Specifies the volume of the effect. Can be controlled by the Input Fx/Track Fx knobs.

Time[]

The Time parameter defines the interval between each repeat. Some intervals are small enough to produce a musical note. Most of them are not perfect tones (when compared to the standard 440Hz scale); nonetheless, they can still be heard as notes. Below is a table with Time values and their closest musical note.

Because the Time values have a specified unit (unlike Granular Delay, for instance), the frequency (Hz) of the note played can be calculated by using the following formula:

Time (ms) Frequency (Hz) Closest note Closest note's frequency (Hz) Difference (Hz)

  • After a Time of 32ms. the interval is too large and no specific notes can be heard properly.
