Hold is a switch that, when turned on, “locks” any signal currently in the delay and plays it
until Hold is turned off. When Hold is on, no signal can enter the delay and Feedback is set
to 100%. A good parameter to control with a footswitch.
Dry Bal
(Balance) is the left/right balance of the dry signal. At -100%, only the left dry
signal goes to the left output, while at 100% only the right dry signal passes to the right
output, and at 0%, equal amounts of the left and right dry signals pass to their respective
outputs.
Tapn Leve
l is the level of each numbered tap, from 0% to 100%, relative to the overall
output of the effect.
Tapn Bal
is the left/right balance of each of the numbered taps. At -100%, only the left
channel of tap n goes to the left output, while at 100% only the right channel of tap n goes
to the right output. At 0%, equal amounts of the left and right channels of the tap pass to
their respective outputs. In some delays, pairs of taps (1 and 5, 2 and 6, etc.) are controlled
together as stereo pairs.
DelayScale
lets you change the lengths of all the taps together. Its range is 0 to 10x.
Note: It is possible for the Forte to run out of delay memory with over-generous
settings of DelayScale or very slow Tempos. Some Delay effects will simply go
to a maximum value and stay there, while in some, a calculation is made that
automatically cuts the delay times in half, thereby maintaining a relationship with
tempo.
Complex Echo
This effect has two feedback taps per channel as well as three independent taps, and also
a feedback diffuser for “smearing” the delays. Feedback line 1 feeds the signal back to the
delay input of the same channel, while feedback line 2 feeds the signal back to the opposite
channel.
FB2/FB1>FB
is a balance control between feedback lines 1 and 2. 0% (minimum) turns off
feedback line 2, only allowing use of feedback line 1. 50% is an even mix of both lines, and
100% (maximum) turns off line 1.
L
Diff Dly and R Diff Dly adjusts the delay lengths of the diffusers. Range is 0 to 100 ms.
Diff Amt adjusts the diffuser intensity. Range is 0 to 100%.
C Fdbk n Dly
adjusts the delay length of the C channel’s nth feedback tap, fed back to the C
channel’s delay input. Range is 0 to 2600 ms.
