Voices
These parameters set the delay time, in seconds, for each individual voice. The
range for each algorithm is shown below, along with the delay time available with
optional SIMMs memory expansion for those 6-Voice algorithms which make
use of additional memory.

When display of values in BPM has been selected, these are set as fractions of
a beat. The smallest fraction is 1/24th beat. Changing these values live can
produce a variety of pitch shift, and flange effects. Delay times can also be tempo
modulated.
Delay Time cont'd.
You can set and display delay val-
ues in units of time, or with tempo
values. Press Up and Tempo simul-
taneously to toggle between these
two options. When time units are
selected, delay times are set and
displayed in milliseconds (From 0ms
to the maximum available delay for
that parameter). When tempo val-
ues are selected, delay values are
set and displayed as a ratio of ech-
oes to beats (from 24:1 to 1:24). This
will automatically synchronize the
delay to the current tempo (MIDI,
Internal, or TAP — see Tempo Mode
in Chapter 2.) For example, a delay
setting of 1:2 (1 echo for every 2
beats) will produce half-note delay
rhythms synchronized to the current
tempo.
