1U & 3U Eurorack Modules • Re: Dual Looping Delay from 4ms

I've had the DLD for a while, but I've always tweaked Time manually. Now I'm trying to use CV from the Tetrapad to control Time precisely, and the math is not clicking for me.

First thing. If the CV range is -5v to 5v, and 0v = x1, the CV multiplier changes every .31v, right? That's 5/16. So .93 (3*.31) would be a multiplier of 4? Or would it be 3?

And to my main confusion. The formulas in the manual are correct?

Time switch up: Delay time = ([Knob x CV] + 16) x beat time
Time switch center: Delay time = (Knob x CV) x beat time
Time switch up: Delay time = ([Knob x CV] / 8) x beat time

So...the minimum time with CV is a 1/128th beat (1/512th note) and the maximum is 256 beats (64 bars)?

Knob 1 x switch 1/8 = range of 1/128 beat (1/512th note) to 2 beats?
Knob 2 x switch 1/8 = range of 1/64 beat to 4 beats
Knob 3 x switch 1/8 = range of 1.5/6 beat to 6 beats
Knob 4 x switch 1/8 = range of 1/32 beat to 8 beats
Knob 8 x switch 1/8 = range of 1/16 beat to 16 beats
Knob 1 x switch x1 = 1/64th NOTE to 16 beats (4 bars)
Knob 2 x switch x1 = 1/32nd NOTE to 32 beats (8 bars)
Knob 3 x switch x1 = dotted 1/16th NOTE to 48 beats (12 bars)
Knob 4 x switch x1 = 1/16th NOTE to 64 beats (16 bars)

So at Knob 1 and Switch center, some CV values generate these NOTE values

1/16 {1/64th note)
1/12 (1/48th note, 16t)
1/8 (1/32nd)
1/7 (septuplets)
1/6 (1/24th, 1/8t)
1/5 (1/20th note, quintuplets)
1/4 (1/16th note)
1/3 (1/12th note, triplets)
1/2 (1/8th note)

1 (1/4 note)

2/1 (1/2 note)
3/1 (1/2d)
4/1 (bar, whole note)
16/1 (4 bars)

With knob 2, switch center...

2/16 {1/32th note)
2/12 (1/24th note, 1/8t)
2/8 (1/16th)
2/7 (??????)
2/6 (1/12th, 1/4t)
2/5 (???????)
2/4 (1/8th note)
2/3 (1/2t)
2/2 (1/4th note)

2 (1/2 note)

2/2 (note)
3/2 (1d)
4/2 (2 bar)
16/2 (8 bars)

This is sucha weird way to think about rhythm. Not a bad thing! But I have no idea how to program it. I think Knob 1-4 gives the best range of musically useful divisions.

I keep getting confused cause I think, 1/8, okay, that's an 8th note. No, it's 1/8th of a 1/4 note! So Knob1 + Switch 1/8 is a 32nd note. So weird!

I think I need a spreadsheet
