# RO-BOT

### What it is

RO-BOT is a partially amplitude controlled delay/flanger kind of thing.

### Parameters

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
Pregain | Preamp gain.
Threshold | The threshold. If the signal is louder than this, the delay length begins moving towards the maximum delay. If it's lower, it begins moving towards the minimum.
Level L/R | You can choose to use the auxbus for level input.
Min Delay | Minimum delay.
Max Delay | Maximum delay. Note that this can actually be smaller than the minimum.
Feedback | Feedback. If you use feedbacks above 0 dB, or not far enough below with resonant filters, turn up feedback saturation slightly.
Feedback sign | Feedback positive or negative? Only time will tell.
Feedback sat | Feedback saturation. Causes the delay line to saturate instead of blowing up if positive feedbacks or high filter resonance settings are used.

Filter

Filter mode:

- Off
- Lowpass
- Highpass
- Bandpass
- Bandreject (notch).

Cutoff | Filter cutoff frequency.
Resonance | Filter resonance.
C Inertia | Filter cutoff inertia.
Attack | How long it takes the delay time to reach the maximum delay if the signal level stays above the threshold.
Decay | How long it takes the delay time to reach the minimum delay after the signal level drops below the threshold.

LFO Shape

Delay time LFO wave shape:

- Sine
- Triangle
- Square
- Upsaw
- Downsaw
- Random (set at the beginning of each period, with no influence from the L/R phasing)
- Equal random (set at the beginning of each period, influenced by L/R phasing)
- Sample and hold (takes the signal level at the beginning of each period and sets the delay length accordingly).

LFO Speed | LFO frequency or period in ticks.
LFO Depth | Depth of the LFO in samples.
LFO Phase | Left/right phase difference of the LFO.
LFO Manual Phase | Sets the LFO to this phase. Useful for synchronizing the LFO with the track.
Manual | Additional manual delay.
M Inertia | Manual delay inertia.
M Inertia Mode | Manual delay inertia mode.
A, B | What to mix with what for the output. D means dry, W means wet.
Mix | Mixing between A and B.
Postgain | Postamp gain.

### Notes & Warnings

- Be careful with feedbacks near or above 0 dB and filter resonances above 1 if you don't have feedback saturation on.
- You can use RO-BOT as a vibrato by leaving feedback off, setting minimum and maximum delay to the same value and adjusting the LFO.
- If the machine blows up on you, you can fix it by right clicking on it and choosing Reset.
