More Feedback Machine offers ultra flexible delay effects ranging fro
bread & butter stuff to weird rhythmic deconstructions. The idea
behind MFM is to give the musician as much control over 4 separate
delay lines as possible, and having them interact, as well as having
means to modulate delay parameters in realtime.

Delay x 4: As any cool delay, MFM can sync to host tempo. If you
prefer milliseconds, they're here as well. If you look for something
like a comb filter, you can tune MFM2's delays chromatically. 4
identical delay lines provide for 4 taps - each with panning, filter,
output level and lots of feedback options. There are lots of options,
yet the concept of MFM2 is quite simple, keeping it easy to use.

Feedback Control: The heart of MFM2 is the feedback matrix, found in
the center of its editor window. There are several pre-defined
matrices that cover most needs for almost any type of delay effect,
including ping pong, multi-tap and feedback delay networks for
reverb-type effects. A User Matrix lets one choose the amount of
feedback from each delay line into each other - which was the standar
in MFM1.

Naturally each delay line has a resonant multimode filter that by
default sits in the feedback path, in order to create damping, rising
or moving delays. But this filter can also be placed at other points
in the signal flow, such as the input or the output, individually for
each delay line.

In addition, delay lines 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 have a set of so-called
Matrix Effects that add further means to mangle the delay feedback.
These include saturation, bit-reduction, frequency shifting (sideband
filter) and phasing effects for each of both pairs.
A big knob on the top of the window controls the overall feedback
amount. But if it's too much feedback, there's a Panic button right
next to it.

Modulation: There's nothing that can not be modulated. For example:

- Put LFOs on delay times to create warm and subtle chorusing effects
- Really warm sounding delays are one of MFM2's specialty.
- Play delay times over MFM2's built-in keyboard control to create
tuned comb filter effects - this takes MIDINotes in hosts that
support MIDI input to effects, but it can also be automated in hosts
that don't.
- Use Multistage envelopes to create evolving filter sweeps or gating
effects - the Multistage envelopes can be triggered by MIDINotes or
the built-in keyboard control.
- While the above mentioned modulations are pretty obvious, check out
the presets for the really weird stuff.
