TRACK DELAY
Track Delay lets you delay individual tracks up to 170 ms, in order to achieve a more
desirable “feel.” For example, if the bass track is anticipating the beat, you can push it
back so it’s “in the pocket” by delaying it a few milliseconds. If you need one track to
play back earlier than the others, try offsetting all other tracks by the same amount.
This will make the remaining track appear to be playing ahead of the others.
Track Delay times are set individually per track (or for a group of tracks) in the Track
Delay Edit page. Track Delay for all eight tracks may be turned on and off without
altering the Track Delay settings of each track.
To turn Track Delay on and off:
¿If Edit mode is currently on (EDIT icon lit), press [EDIT VALUE] to exit Edit mode.
The
EDIT
icon should be off.
¡Press the [TRACK DELAY] button.
The
TRACK DELAY
icon will light, indicating that Track Delay values are in
effect.
¬Press [TRACK DELAY] again.
The
TRACK DELAY
icon will turn off, indicating that Track Delay values are
disabled.
To set the Track Delay amount:
¿Press [EDIT VALUE], to turn on Edit mode.
The
EDIT
icon will light.
¡Press [TRACK DELAY].
The
TRACK DELAY
icon will light (if not already turned on).
¬Press one of the eight RECORD ENABLE buttons [1]–[8].
The selected track’s
REC
LED will light and the display will indicate the current
Track Delay amount for the selected track. Press a different RECORD ENABLE
button to select another track (1–8) to edit.

÷Use the [s] and [t] buttons to adjust the amount of delay for the selected track.
ƒAlternatively, you may select a specific digit by holding [EDIT VALUE] and using
the [s] and [t] buttons.
The selected digit will flash.
ªWhile holding [EDIT VALUE], press any [LOCATE] button to enter a value.
The next digit to the right is automatically selected, so that you may continue
entering digits in this way. Releasing the
[EDIT VALUE]
button deselects the
digit, and the selected digit will stop flashing.
DTo reset the Track Delay time to 000.0 ms, press both the [s] and [t] buttons
simultaneously; or, hold [EDIT VALUE] and press [LOCATE 0] .
«Repeat steps ¬ through D to edit the Track Delay times of any other tracks.
To set multiple tracks to the same Track Delay value:
If you need to “advance” a single track, you can set all other tracks to the same delay
value by selecting multiple tracks in step ¬ above. Simply press and hold one
RECORD ENABLE button while pressing others you wish to adjust to the same
amount, then proceed with steps ÷ through D.
