It actually detects when a patch cable is plugged into the sync input, so even if the clock stops, it will keep that delay time until you remove the patch cable.

If I read it correctly, at CV=5V it gets the delay time set by the knob, and with CV approaching 0V it gets down to almost 0 (well, perhaps down to the latency of converters). If that is true, it means the delay change is achieved by time-variable resampling, and since it sounds pretty good even with deep modulations, I guess there is some nice interpolation employed. May I ask, what is the order of the interpolator used? For an engineer it gives some rough idea about the objective quality. I'm just curious

Not exactly, the CV input is summed with the knob setting. If you have the knob at minimum, the attenuverter fully clockwise, and 5V CV, you will get the maximum delay time. But yeah, the resampling mode actually just uses linear interpolation. You will hear a bit of aliasing when processing very pure tones like sine/triangle.
Great job for your first module, quite pretty and definitely piques my interest. I'm a delay nut and I've been looking for something smaller and more friendly to replace my zdsp dragonfly delay for glitchy digital stuff.
I'm curious how the clocking works. Being able to tempo sync would be huge to me. What sort of clock rate does this thing look for? If a clock is setting the base delay length, then how does the length parameter relate to this length? Does altering the length produce subdivisions of the base length?... or something else?
First module I've wanted in FOREVER. I love the feature set, I love the name and I love the design. Totally sold on this. I have to wait a couple of weeks for the extra scratch to get it but next pay check consider it ordered!

Multiplications/divisions, yes:
Patch one to the SYNC input and choose a multiplier/divider for rhythmic delays.
The panel also shows multiplication/division symbols.
I'm curious whether those multiplications/divisons are stepped or continuous.
Im curious what is happening in the "sequenced divisions" demo, there are some timing changes that create no pitch shift at all (possibly from changing the clock sync?) and then you bring in the chorusey pitch shifting sound again towards the end. Are these two separate functions, aka non-pitch-shifting delay time changing and also pitch-shifting delay time changing?

Yep this is correct! They are stepped, not continuous.

In that demo, the time CV was being driven by a sequencer and the module was in crossfade mode, so it just crossfades between the different delay times without pitch shifting. And yes, the switch on the right side selects between crossfade and resampling (pitch shifting) modes.
So o want to hear a demo of the hold function. I imagine that creates a loop basically right? Gotta hear it. Also glitch and stutter that you describe... Bring on the demos my man! I def agree with others, a welcome idea in delay land

Thanks everybody for the nice words on the panel design (also in my wife Elizabeth's name)! We've done something a bit different from other panel designs we've made in the past here. It's actually more my wife's work than mine (hence the a bit different style from the usually more abstract and geometric take). Actually I'm really happy with how this turned out and with the great collaboration with Alright who's been on our same mental wavelength right from the beginning!
More innovation and beauty in eurorack is more better. Well done! I wish you and your colleagues great joy and success in your new venture. It's never too early too start asking "what's next?"
