DELAY Tab Overview
The delay effect is a configurable echo. You can
control how far apart the echoes occur (Delay
Time), and whether the echoes fade out quickly
or slowly or build on themselves. In addition,
there are filtering and stereo controls that allow
you to create many popular delay sounds. Delays
can be typically be categorized into the two listed
categories below:
Short Delays:
• Initial reflections
• Slaps
Long Delays (max stereo delay is 2500 ms or 2.5
sec.)
• Mono taps
• Stereo taps
• Syncopated taps
• Ping-pongs (delays travelling from left to right)
f STYLE
Use the soft knob assigned to this parameter to
choose a pre-programmed delay style you like.
f LEVEL
Sets the mix level for the delay effect.
f WIDTH
The 2 delay lines are panned hard left and right.
This allows you to determine the stereo imag-
ing of the delay effect. 0% is mono, 100% is fully
stereo.
f SOURCE
Determines which of the three methods you
want to use to set delay times. These include:
TIME: This allows you to set the exact delay time
for the left and right delay lines manually with the
TIME L and TIME R controls.
TAP: This allows you to tap the Tap button when
it is assigned to TEMPO in the PRESET tab.
MIDI: The unit can be set to derive its delay times
from incoming MIDI clock signal.
f TEMPO
This is where you can manually set the tempo
in beats per minute (bpm) that is used to derive
delay times for both the left and right delay lines.
The bpm value of the TEMPO parameter is only
applied to the delay times when TAP or MIDI is
set as the source.
f DUCKING
When DUCKING is set to ON, the delay output
will be reduced while you are singing. At the end
of a sung phrase, the delay effects return to the
level you set. This can increase the clarity of your
vocals while still sounding very “wet”. The amount
of attenuation and attack time for the ducking to
engage are set with the DUCKING AMOUNT
and DUCKING TIME parameters further down in
this menu.
f DIV L / DIV R
When the source is set to TAP or MIDI, these
parameters divide the tempo into even (e.g. 1/4
or quarter notes) or syncopated sub-beats (e.g.
1/4 triplets, 1/4 dotted notes) for the left and
right delays.
f TIME L / TIME R
These parameters are used to display the exact
delay time and to allow editing with all SOURCE
settings. You may set from 0 to 2500ms (2.5 sec-
onds) of delay for the left and right delay lines.
