DELAY

Delay is an effect that adds one or more delayed "echoes" to the sound. The delay effect of the ES-1is a "cross-feedback delay." This feeds the delayed L and R signal back into the opposite side to produce a greater feeling of spaciousness from left to right.

You can record delay knob movements as a Motion Sequence, or use the effect as a Tempo Delay.

Right input Right output

The delay effect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern, and it is not possible to change the effect independently for each part.

Motion Seq (motion sequence)

This is the delay motion sequence (p.41 “Motion Se- quence”). Each time you press the key, the setting will al- ternate between on (lit) and off (dark).

BPM Sync

This allows the delay time to be automatically synchronized to the tempo of the pattern. Each time you press the key, the setting will alternate between on (lit) and off (dark). When the MIDI Clock setting is Ext, the delay time can also be synchronized to the clock of an external device (p.53 “Synchronizing the ES-1and an external MIDI device (MIDI Clock)”)

Depth

0...127

Adjusts the level of the delay sound and the amount of feed- back (the number of delay repeats).

Rotating the knob toward the right will increase the level of the delay sound, and will also increase the amount of feed- back.

The further left or right the Pan of each part is set, the more the sound will be spread to left and right.

Raising the Depth excessively may cause the sound

to distort (clip).

Time (delay time)

5 msec ... 2 sec

(for BPM Sync) 1/4...8

Specifies the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the right will lengthen the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the left to shorten the delay time will produce a "doubling" ef- fect (an impression as though multiple instruments are play- ing in unison).

When BPM Sync is "on", this parameter will let you set the tempo in terms of sixteen different multiples of the tempo: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.

If you change the delay time during playback, the pitch of the delayed sound will change.

Depending on the tempo setting, it may be impos- sible to set the delay time. In such cases, set the de- lay time to half the desired value.

If the Time value is lowered excessively, the sound may distort (clip).

Length, Scale/Beat settings

You can set the length (the length of the entire pattern) and the basic beat (time signature).

The Length and Scale/Beat you specify here will affect the cor- respondence between step keys and note values, and the maxi- mum number of steps as shown in the following diagram.

If Scale/Beat is set to "tri" ( x 12) or "tr2" ( x 12), step keys 13--16 will have no effect.

While the Shift key is held down, the upper line of select LEDs (green) will indicate the length of the current pattern, and the lower line of select LEDs (red) will indicate the beat.
