the FX.LEVEL set high. Also note how the tone
coloration follows the set delay time: Just as with old
school analog delays, slow delay times produce clear
delay repeats, whereas faster delay times will result in
darker-sounding repeats.

“Tape”: This delay provides authentic reproductions of
tape-based delays, including the “clipping” sound that
occurs at high input levels. Try experimenting with a
high Feedback level, combined with the TONE control
turned counter-clockwise. You may want to add some
modulation as well.

“Dynamic”: Dynamic Delay is a feature that was initially
introduced in the legendary TC 2290. It allows the
dynamics of the input level to reduce the delay output
level while you play, increasing the delay level when
you stop playing. The result is a clear and undisturbed
source signal while playing and a significant increase
in delay level when pausing between phrases. The
adaptive threshold in NOVA Repeater automatically
sets the optimal threshold for this effect.

“Reverse”: The Reverse delay is a great effect when a
more mysterious, exotic delay style is required. The
input signal is sampled and played in reverse. With
high delay level settings, this will sound as if you were
playing “backwards”.

“PingPong”: The PingPong delay causes the delay to
alternate between the left and right channels, resulting
in a very nice stereo feel.

12/17 – DIVISION Knob and Subdivision Display

The subdivision options relate to the tapped tempo.
Tap the tempo in quarter notes and then select the
subdivision of your choice. To select a subdivision
setting, press the TYPE button and toggle through the
different types.

Here are a few suggestions for the various settings.
Use these as a starting point and be sure to
experiment and find your own.
