You will need to send it to a filter or/and use the lower delay settings,
this is what all analog delays do(you just don't have control over it
normally)
I believe Doepfer has a dual version of a switched cap filter in the works
to compliment the 188 modules:
http://www.doepfer.de/A100_SCF.htm
but the advantage to the open design is you can use any filter you want or
none.
i love the 188-2 and the other 188 modules, some crazy sounds can be had.
best,
phil
