5IntroductionThank you for choosing The Triko. We hope that you will be entirely satisfied with your choice.We all imagine ethereal, stratospherical, totally unique strings sounds or warm and swirling notes of asimple guitar. All have something in common, the use of a chorus, often multiple (bi or tri). The Trikoallows you to rediscover the magic of these enveloping sounds while also offering you the chance todiscover yet unknown landscapes.The basic principle is relatively simple. The original signal is practically delayed by a few milliseconds andthen modulated by a slow signal. To create this effect, The Triko uses BBD (Bucket-Brigade Device):imagine that you are water porters, the first receives a water quantity which they pour in the secondbucket, then the same happens between the second and the third and so on.The water is recovered in the last bucket, less the drops that have been lost in the process. It is far fromperfect, noisier than the best digital solutions, it needs input and output filters, but it sounds good ;)By varying the delay, the amplitude of the modulation (amp), the modulation speed (rate), the originalsignal dosage (dry) and the delayed signal dosage (FX), slow tonal and amplitude modulations areobtained. The Triko combines three separate or synchronised chorus giving you the best effect. Theoptional FV-1 card, highly recommended, offers varied reverberations and echoes to finish sculpting yoursound.Do not hesitate to contact us on the www.baloran.com forum with your opinions and suggestions.
