11.9 TRACK DELAY
Track Delay allows offsetting individual tracks in time. Example: Delaying a snare part
slightly compared to other drums can give a more “laid back” feel.
Maximum delay time is 170.0 ms at 48 kHz and 185.0 ms at 44.1 kHz, adjustable in 0.1 ms
steps (0 through 8160 samples). The delay time displayed is accurate only while playing at
normal pitch (48 kHz or 44.1 kHz), and will not compensate for pitch changes or external
clock variations.
