Searching for documentation on Effects plugins (in particular the Audio FX Delay plugin)

• Dec 30, 2023 - 02:36

I've looked for Audio FX documentation here.

And while that area of the handbook touches on Audio FX plugin loading and routing, it sheds no light on the various plugin parameters.

Specifically regarding the Delay plugin I see three controls (shown in the attached image):

  • a list of presets near the top of the panel (with Acoustic Air selected in the attached image)
  • an enormously large Rotary dial (presumably for setting the delay length ... or the wet/dry ratio.
  • a teeny link toggle button between a couple of uneditable note values (that AFAIK apparently reflect values from the preset.)

At the bottom of the panel there's a MuseFX Delay logo that links to www.musehub.com where I was unable to find any documentation.

The main issue for me is that the Delay plugin's purpose is ambiguous. I'm looking for a track/part delay, to impart the Haas Effect for greater clarity between parts.

But based on what I hear I'm guessing that MuseScore 4's Delay plugin is actually a stereo delay; therefore it has a number of extraneous and inaccessible parameters geared for setting up right/left echo effects that produce a right/left bounce (or multi-tap) ... like the stereo delay that comes with Logic Pro X (attached).

I'm looking for something that simply delays the onset of all notes on a track ... by 1 to 40 milliseconds.

Anybody know where I can find documentation for MuseScore 4's various plugins?

T'would be brilliant if documentation were a click away via a link in the FX plugin panel.

It took me 10 minutes to determine that Muse delay not the effect you are looking for. There is no straight, adjustable delay. Experiment with the notes below the dial which change what ever effect you are working with. Link them together so they are the same, or not so the after effect is different. Nothing changes the timing of the initial attack. Maybe there needs to be documentation. Maybe you'll be waiting a very long time. Or you could experiment and then move on. Finally.
