* 24 = 16th note sextuplets, 16 = 16th notes, 8T = 8th note triplets, 16. = dotted sixteenth notes,

 

 

8 = 8th notes, 4T = quarter note triplets, 8. = dotted eighth notes,

 

 

4 = quarter notes, 2T = half-note triplets, 4. = dotted quarter notes, 2 = half notes

 

*

The "." shown in the ninth character of the LCD indicates a dotted note.

 

*

The "T" shown in the ninth character of the LCD indicates a triplet.

4. Feedback

Adjust the number of delay repeats. Range: 0--99(100 steps in increments of 1)

5. Filter

Adjust the tone of the delay sound. Range: L9~L1, OFF, H1~H9

 

*

L1~L9 = LPF (larger numbers will lower the cutoff frequency)
