I always loved this piece! I actually have 2 of them but they are essentially obsolete. I already had to convert one from the original shift-register model to the RAM-based memory years ago due to lack of replacement parts. Now I have a problem with one due to a bad multiplexer somewhere in the delay tap section.

I started on a project to recreate the effects of this piece in a VST effect when Synthmaker first hit the scene. I've been keeping this to myself under the illusion that some folks might be willing to pay a few bucks for it. However, having started a new job with a commute and subsequent long work days, I haven't been able to complete this so it may be time to ask for volunteers to help complete this and/or provide motivation, suggestions, etc.

I actually have a lot done, including emulation of the multi-tap delays used in both the shift register and RAM versions of the DL2. I am looking for assistance in improving the modulation section and other improvements.

Anyone interested?

Never heard of it... any links w/info & examples please?

It was created by a company called DeltaLabs somewhere around 1980. I have info, including schematics, but at this point can find little info on the web. It was competition for the Lexicon of the day and if I remember correctly was the first stereo multi-tap digital delay.

Sounds interesting.

Do you have a picture of it? Would be nice to see the original user interface.
