I'm not sure how you could add an threshold envelope that can send a delay backwards over time back to a sample. I've never heard of any delay in the mpc doing that either.

Don't you realize that this delay Pro is exactly a chain of fx?
You have modulations, envelopes, smear, saturations and so on.
Exactly what you have on the other free Air fx.
I've been making Delay Pro since years on Mpc, nothing rudimentary.
I guess Air just made that: they chained their fx on a single delay pro.
Which is fine, you save space on slots and it's faster.
But the result is the same.
hmmm no. the difference is that some of the chained effects you are talking about are INSIDE the feedback loop of the delay, and you cannot do that. a filter inside the feedback loop will turn your repeats darker and darker after each repeat, while if you put a filter after a normal delay, it will just filter the entire output as is. it might seem like a little difference, but it's huge in sound and key to make it sound closer to a classic tape echo\bbd delay. also: air delay (not pro) only behaves like air delay pro in digital mode, pitch is not altered when you change delay time. in delay pro you can choose. of course we have akai analog delay that does that, but then it's very basic. i really like the resonance in the delay that both air delay and air delay pro have.

But nothing you cannot already obtain chaining the free Air fx on a send on standalone.
The 'Auto Clear' function cannot be replicated in the free FX chain. It is very useful.
well, it cannot be replicated but you can use mother ducker to get very similar results.
all in all i must add i'm a bit disappointed at this air delay pro, i impulse bought it, it is surely nice, but i would have preferred a full version of the tape delay that's inside opx4, i like it more than air delay pro. the tape speed independent from delay time is crazy good, the wow and flutter is very accurate. here we only have this wobble\chorus modulation... nice but not really the same thing. i'd immediately trade the current air delay pro for opx4 tape delay if asked.
Akai and your ripoff UK prices.
