Delay
Delay provides repetition, or echo, of a signal. By adding feedback, the
delayed signal can repeat many times, with each successive repetition
softer than its predecessor.
Parameter Range Description
Delay Type 1 to 4 Selects the type of Delay (see below).
Main Delay Time 00 to 99 Controls the speed of the delay (see chart on next page).
Delay Time Offset 00 to 99 Offsets the left & right channels (see page 31).
Delay Feedback 00 to 99 Controls the number of repetitions.
Dynamic Delay 00 to 99 Threshold above which Delay is muted.
Delay Level 00 to 99 Controls the output level of the Delay effect.
The DELAY TYPE parameter lets you choose from the following Delay
types:
Display Delay Type Description Max. Delay
1Mono Delay Provides a single delay of signal. 1250 mS
2Stereo Delay Provides two discrete delays; one to the
left channel, the other to the right channel.
625 mS
3Ping Pong
Delay
This two channel delay has the output of
each channel flowing into the other, going
back and forth like a game of ping-pong.
625 mS
4-0 to
4-9
Multi Tap
Delay
Provides 5 delays at once, with 10
configurations (see below).
n/a
If the DELAY ON/OFF parameter is turned off, the Delay effect will not be heard
(see page 35). If you adjust any of the Delay parameters, the display will flash
OFF twice to indicate it is turned off.
TIP The Stereo Delay and Ping Pong Delay types will sound even wider
when the CABINET SPREAD parameter is turned on. See page 35 for
more information.
Multi Tap Delay
This is like having five delays at once, each having a different delay time,
volume and panning. There are 10 Multi Tap configurations (4-0 through
4-9), each with its own rhythm. The MAIN DELAY TIME parameter lets you
control the relative ÒspreadÓ, or tempo, of all taps at once while keeping
the same rhythm. When set to low numbers, the taps are closer together; at
higher values, the taps become spaced further apart. The DELAY FEEDBACK
parameter controls all taps at once, making it easy to adjust the total
number of ÒechoesÓ.
Main Delay Time
0 is the shortest delay time and 99 is the longest. This range is exponential,
which means that the lower numbers take small steps, and the bigger
