1 Set the effect selector to DELAY.

2 Set the effect channel selector to CH2.

The parameter LED 2 lights up.

The time of 1 beat (mSec.) of the BPM of the song
input to CH2 is displayed on the auto BPM counter
window (upper window).

Select the BPM display (real-time/average) with the
switch button.
Real-time display : Displays the measured BPM value
for every beat.
If it cannot be measured for more than 5 seconds,
“– – –” will be displayed.
Average display : Measures and displays the aver-
age of the BPM values measured every beat. Contin-
ues displaying the previous BPM value when the av-
erage value could not be measured.

3 Set the parameter value with the parameter

knob (delay time).

When the parameter value (delay time) is set accord-
ing to the time of 1 beat of the BPM displayed on the
auto BPM counter window (upper window), higher
effects are produced.

When 1/2 delay time is set to the time of 1 beat of the
measured BPM, the beat display 1/2 LED lights up.
Set the parameter value while referring to the beat
display LED.

* When the BPM cannot be measured, the beat dis-

play 1/2 to 4/1 LEDs will not light up.

To check the effect sound, press the effect of the
monitor selector. This will enable the effect sound to
be monitored using the headphone output.

4 Turn on the effect switch.

The effect switch blinks and the effect (delay) is im-
posed on the master output.
Each press will turn on or off the effects.

By turning on the effects according to the beat, the
effects' cycle will be synchronized with the beat to
produce better effects.

The echo, auto pan, and flanger effects can be produced
by operating in the same way.

Display where a half beat delay (250 mSec) has been set to
the music with BPM of 120 (time conversion 500 mSec.)

Precautions for Effect Function

• When an effect function (delay, echo, reverb, etc.) is on

and is switched using the effect channel selector, the re-
maining effects of the channel before switching will be
output completely.

• Use the effect selector while the effects are off (while the

effect switch is lit).
If used while the effects are on (while the effect switch is
blinking), noises may be produced.
