17.DELAY — SYNTH/VOCODER

The delay effect simulates the delays that occur when sound travels through air.

"TYPE" (knob 1 ) selects the type of delay effect. "DELAY DEPTH" (knob 4 ) sets the delay depth and the amount of feedback. "TEMPO SYNC" (knob 2 ) specifies whether the delay time will be synchronized to the tempo set by the arpeggiator or by an external MIDI clock.

TYPE[Stereo Delay, Cross Delay, L/R Delay]

Selects the delay type.

Stereo Delay ():

This is a stereo delay.(Figure 17-1)

Cross Delay ():

This is a stereo delay where the left and right channels of feedback are interchanged. In a Layer program, it is effective to set the pan of the two timbres to left and right respec- tively. (Figure 17-2)

L/R Delay ():

This is a delay where the delay sound is output to left and right al- ternately. (Figure 17-3)

TEMPO SYNC

[OFF, ON]

Specifies whether the delay time will be synchronized to the tempo.

OFF ():

Delay off (not synchronized). The delay will operate according to the "DELAY TIME" value you specify.

ON ():

Delay on (synchronized). The delay will synchronize to the ARPEG.A "TEMPO" setting or to MIDI Clock data from an external device.

DELAY TIME

[0...127]

Sets the delay time.

This parameter is available only if "TEMPO SYNC" is OFF.

SYNC NOTE

[1.32...1.1]

Specifies the ratio of the delay time relative to the ARPEG.A "TEMPO" value. (p.65)

This parameter is available only if "TEMPO SYNC" is ON.

DELAY DEPTH

[0...127]

Specifies the delay depth and feed- back amount. Increasing this value will make the delay louder and will also increase the amount of feed- back.

If you do not wish to apply a delay, set this to 0.

Excessively high settings of this parameter may cause the output to be distorted.
