I just figured out delay compensation today :D I'm a bit slow..

Quick vid- first part is not about TS1, second part is.

I don't think I'm earning a (robotic) bean from this Rack Extension. Would be lovely if buddard would be so generous as to send them all my way, though. :lol:

EDIT: This joke makes no sense now, the video title has been updated. It was a great gag before the title edit, though ;)

Currently i am running the Novation Circuit via live monitoring into Reason and to get everything in sync i route all other channels through the free delay RE which is a bit cumbersome.

So with this RE i could add this as an insert to the Circuit Audio IN Track and and adjust the latencies to get everything in sync, right?

I feel like this is something that Reason should come with by default, and probably will eventually.

Yeah, they'd have to somehow combine it with the groove mixer though. I guess it would be quite confusing to have two such groove-changing things in different places. On the other hand having only the groove channels for that would probably feel like a big limitation. Catch 22 :?

For me this saves me alot of routing. I need to compensate the audio cards latency effecting live Audio coming from my outboard gear. Currently i had to route every non live audio track to a Mix Bus and then delay it with the sample delay. Now i just drop the Time Slider on the live audio track and compensate here. Very happy.

I was thinking that it would be nice to have something just like TS-1 in the utility section that comes with Reason out of the box. Not sure how else they could implement it because I haven't thought it through very well.

This is what I would like to use it for, I use some guitar stomp boxes for FX on synths and this thing does the trick. I just can't justify spending 25 dollars on it. I'd rather just pull the midi clip back in the sequencer until it's close enough.

We've uploaded a quick tip video on how to use TS-1 to compensate for slow attacks on instruments that are played inside Blocks:

That's right. You make a combinator with a mixer, redrum and 10 TS and connect it all. Now you can shift individual sounds that are playing from the Redrum's own sequencer. I like that a lot, because I love to use Reason without the main sequencer as much as I can. Well, it fits my style of music and music making.
Just be aware that negative slide values might not work correctly in that setup. Negative slide is subject to the same limitations as the delay compensation in Reason (because we're actually using that feature), so it won't work inside instrument combis, and not when connected to a rack mixer either. But if you connect each Redrum output to an SSL mixer channel instead, you can have negative slide on them, too!
I'm sot sure when and where the neg slide tick off, but, help me understand this setup:
I want to cancel the sample delay delay by subtracting the total after the fx, connected to send of SSL mixer.
I'm stacking two ST-1 to reach 184 samples delay measured with Normen's unit.
It doesn't work, why? What would be the right setup???

Also this makes me more confused than before.... the delay adds up???
edit no adds up, just bypassed (fx delay changed in the meanwhile to 248 so that made me think the TS-1 was adding)

edit- just figured it out later, ms are not samples... so subtracting 184ms was never going to compensate for 184 sample delays

I think maybe this is because there's a maximum delay that the Reason PDC will accommodate, which is the TS-1's max delay?

Positive adds up
Negative don't

Also, I don't know. I found a mistake in reading the sample latency, it works by delaying all other tracks. I should have read the manual first.. so using the TS-1 on a ssl fx will start a sample delay loop or bypass it???
opss..

Is there any way to set this up with the TM-1 device so that when sequencing NI Battery with Redrum you can shift some of the drums sooner or later ? or is there a technical limitation to prevent that? thanks!!

Apparently they do stack up

Another reminder is that the Ms are not samples, so when reading 192 samples *(i.e.SPEM parallel mixer measured latency)* delays with VMG-01, those corresponds to two stacked up TS-01

First set to -40ms and second to -0.3 (log curve fader)

19200 channel delays samples equals -400ms in the four stacked TS-1

TS-1? If you can send separate outs from the VST yes, otherwise it's best you think it otherwise, cv equation?

I really want this but I feel like 25 dollars is way overpriced. It should be 9 dollars off sale.
25 dollars ? Here in Europe it cost 39€ ! It is way too much for such RE.. at this price i'll pass.

It just got some better understanding of the device, by chance, completely enlightened.

4800.JPG

So, now, this picture is way better than the other I posted, why?

We divide 48000 (My audiorate) for 4800 delay samples (the number on the top right) that's.... 10....
And the TS-1 is set to.... 100 ms.… ok, that's odd, it should be 100 at this point...

anyway... set the TS-1 to 10 ms, and it gives you 480 samples delay, 1 ms, 48 samples, etc.
So running an higher frequency card will yield more samples at a minimum.... that doesn't sound right.... right?

Ok, move on....

So let's say I want to add or subtract 400 samples, how would that translate in TS-1 ms????

That should be.... around 10 ms - 2x48=96= 8 ms plus 16samples o 1/3 of a ms... period.


....... RoboBeans, could we get an easyer input method, or alternate??? :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:


Late PS, VMG-1 is connected in signal mode to the TS-1, 4800 is the result of +100ms on TS-1.

Late reply..

Now that I look back.. I'm sure it's worth that price if you really need the tool, in which case there is no other tool like it in the shop. Personally, I'm a cheap ass! So I'd rather nudge the clips in the sequencer :P

I suppose it could be used for sequenced stuff that isn't an audio clip or triggered by midi? Dunno :D
