Using the Effects

DELAY/MODULATION

DELAY / MODULATION indicator

Pedal indicator

DELAY / MODULATION pedal

This provides the delay effect, in which the sound is slightly delayed and is fed back to the direct sound, and the modulation effect, which adds a sort of swell to the sound to give it greater breadth.

The ME-50B comes equipped with eleven different delay and modulation effects. You can select and use any one of these effects at a time.

DELAY/MOD pedal

The Delay/Modulation is switched on or off each time you press the pedal. When switched on, the DELAY/MOD indicator and pedal indicator light up.

* When .TAP DLY is selected, holding down the DELAY/ MOD pedal for at least two seconds, causes the effect to turn off.

*When HOLD DLY is selected, you cannot switch the effect on/ off by pressing the pedal.

*DELAY ON/OFF switches the Delay at the input to provide a more natural effect. For this reason, if the FEEDBACK is turned up when the Delay is turned off, the delay sound will remain briefly.

*When a setting other than HOLD DLY, CHO + REVERB, or REVERB is selected, you can use the DELAY/MOD pedal to input the tempo, and set the delay time synchronized to the performance tempo.

“ .TAP DLY” (refer to the following)

“Adding a Delay Synchronized to the Performance Tempo” (p. 16)

.TAP DLY

This is a tempo delay that lets you set a dotted eighth note delay time for the performance tempo by pressing the DELAY/MOD pedal in time with the performance tempo.

*The delay time can be set within the range of 46.5 ms to 1050 ms.
