Hi,

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm not looking for very long delay times or super hifi delays. The 4096
stage bbd can be run to about 250ms before the necessity for filtering and
noise reduction starts playing a significant role in the sound. So 500ms
would be good. I'm pretty sure that's all the modcan delay will be able to
do before it starts getting either really noisy or really dark because of
the filter. At 8 seconds there will be very little of the original signal
left (not that this is necessarily a bad thing). Even the very best
analogue delay (the echoczar, by all accounts) only gives about a second of
delay before the laws of physics start kicking in.

So how would one chain two 188-1s together

I'd be very interested in such a module but please, please, please include a
feeback loop send and return. Actually I'd be utterly delighted if the
digital delay resembled in the 188-1 in all ways other than the delay
creation mechanism itself. I think the 188-1 is the very pinnacle of what a
modular module should be - everything CVable, no extraneous circuitry (like
filters) and the signal path completely interruptable :)
