DELAY MODES
The D•TWO holds 3 basic Delay modes
• Traditional Delay mode
In this mode the D•TWO operates as a
regular Delay unit.
• Straight Delay mode
In this mode you will have total control over
each tap.
• Rhythm mode
In this mode you are able to tap a specific
rhythm into the unit. Afterwards full control of
all taps are available.
Traditional Delay Mode
The Traditional Delay mode, makes the D•TWO
work as any regular Delay unit. The delayed
signal is fed back into the Delay line by the
FEEDBACK % knob, thus creating Delay
repeats.
The Parameters
Parameters of the Traditional Delay mode
are, as the name suggests, quite similar to
those of any other Delay unit.
Delay - Delay Time
Tap the DELAY/TAP key, or press the DELAY
key once and dial the DELAY wheel to change
the basic Delay time. The maximum tap time is
2000ms.
Feedback Level
Hit the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key and dial the
DELAY wheel to change the amount of signal
fed back into the Delay line. A 100% setting will
loop the Delay line.
Feedback Repeats
If the Feedback Repeats setting differs from “-”
you have specified the number of repeats and
you are no longer in the Traditional mode.
Shuffle
The Shuffle parameter has no effect in the
Traditional Delay mode.
Quantize
The Quantize parameter has no effect in the
Traditional Delay mode.
Track Tap
The Track Tap parameter allows the preset to
instantly track the current basic tempo, and
adapt to this as opposed to using the tempo,
that the current preset was stored with.
This enables you to use a number of presets
without having to tap the overall tempo more
than once.
RhythmDcay - Rhythm Decay
The RhythmDcay parameter has no effect in
the Traditional mode.
Subdivision
The Subdivision recalculates the basic Delay
time accordingly. BPM equals 1/4 subdivision.
To see the recalculated Delay time - press
EDIT and use the CURSOR keys to select the
Delay time parameter.
Press and hold the DELAY/TAP key
and dial the DELAY wheel, to change
the Subdivision.

holding the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key while
dialing the DELAY wheel counter clockwise.
When “-” is selected the D•TWO is in
Traditional Delay mode.
When coming from Rhythm mode
To enter Traditional Delay mode from Rhythm
mode you must first go to Straight Delay mode
by pressing DELAY TAP twice. Then press and
hold the FEEDBACK RHYTHM key while
turning the DELAY wheel counter clockwise.
When “-” is selected the D•TWO is in
Traditional Delay mode.
The Maximum Delay time of the Traditional
mode is:
Stereo mode: 5 sec. Delay time.
Mono mode: 10 sec. Delay time.
Stereo/Mono is selected in the SETUP menu.
