Tapedelay

[Tony Hardie-Bick]

from a purely sonic perspective, i actually prefer the clarity of digital delays 
- especially when they're not trying to sound like something they're not.

a machine like the copicat, however, is very compelling, from a visual point of 
view, which really only comes in to play when you're in front of an audience.

in these realms, other equations besides the sampling theorem come in to play, 
and there are few machines whose sonic and visual nuances are so beautifully linked.
