D = Double

Pardon me @Konix what does this mean in layman's term. Zero musical knowledge here.

It's the amount of quarter notes per beat/bar.

Most music we listen too is 4/4 timing.

1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4


Think of triplet like a Waltz beat,

1-2-3 | 1-2-3 | 1-2-3 | 1-2-3


Now, take that 1-2-3 timing, and apply it to 4/4 measure. In terms of the effects, like the delays/echos in particular, this gives a kinda of "shuffled" sound. Kind of makes it sound off beat, but not. I know, hard to explain.

Thanks. I guess the easy thing is to apply the effect and see how it sounds lol.

Might sign up for some night classes in music to get some basic knowledge. All I know now is what song keeps the people dancing 😁
