9.5 Delay Macro Type
A delay effect creates echoes. It
can also broaden a sound by
adding a slightly delayed copy
to the original sound (a tech-
nique often used for rock-’n’-
roll songs and in Karaoke bars). The “Macro” label still
does what its name implies. Be aware, however, that
there is no “Character” parameter on page “9.6”.
Note: You can also copy the Delay (or even all effects) settings
from another Set. See page 77.
(1) If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select
the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob to select an effect type.
The TYPE parameter on this page is a “Macro” func-
tion, i.e. it recalls suitable preset values for all Delay
parameters on the “Delay Parameters” page. In many
instances, editing only the parameters on this page is
enough.
The available options are:
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
set the Delay processor’s output volume (0~127).
The overall delay volume depends on three things:
the Send level of the various sections, the output
level of the Delay processor and the setting of the
[DELAY] knob.
If one of them is set to “0”, there will be no delay
effect. If the Send level of a section (the Treble sec-
tion, for example) is set to “0”, the sound of that sec-
tion is not repeated. Other sections (whose Send
value is different from “0”), however, can still be pro-
cessed by the Delay effect. If the LEVEL parameter on
this page is set to “0”, the Delay processor is effec-
tively off for all sections. This parameter is connected
to the [DELAY] knob.
9.6 Delay Parameters
This page contains several
parameters that need to be
selected using the TYPE entry.
Be sure to first select the
parameter you want to change
and then set its value.
(1) If necessary, press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select
the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate the
[DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a parameter.
■ Pre-LPF (0~7)—A low-pass filter can be applied to the
high-frequency range before the signals coming from the
various sections are processed by the Delay processor.
Higher values make the Send signals darker, resulting in a
mellower delay sound. Note that this parameter only
applies to the signals that are sent to the Delay processor.
It does not alter the sound of the active sections.
■ Level (0~127)—This parameter sets the overall volume
of the three delay lines (center, left and right). Higher val-
ues result in a louder delay effect.
■ Time C (0.1~1000)—The Delay effect of the FR-7b/
FR-5b allows you to set three delay times: center (C), left (L)
and right (R). “Time C” sets the delay time of the Delay
located at the center.
■ Time L/R (4%~500%)—These parameters sets the delay
time of the left- or right-channel delay line as a percentage
of the central Delay. The value “100%” means that the left
or right delay repeats at the same speed as the center delay
(see above).
■ Level C/L/R (0~127)—These parameters set the volume
of the central, left and right delays individually, allowing
you to create the desired “mix”.
■ Feedback (–64~0~+63)—This parameter specifies the
number of times the delay will repeat. If you select “0”, the
delay will not repeat. Higher values result in more repeti-
tions. With negative (–) values, the center delay will be fed
back with inverted phase. This is especially effective for
small “Time C” values.
■ Dly®Rev (0~127)—This parameter sets the amount of
delay sound that is sent to the Reverb. Higher values mean
that the echoes will be more prominent in the reverb sig-
nal. Be careful not to overdo this effect because it tends to
blur the sound image.
If you change one of the above parameter values, an
“(E)” appears next to the “TYPE” name to signal that
you are no longer using the presets of the macro in
question.
If you then select another TYPE, however, your
changes are lost and replaced by the settings of the
newly selected macro.
Delay 1~3 These are conventional Delays. 1, 2 and 3
have progressively longer delay times.
Delay 4 This is an effect with a rather short delay
time (a kind of “slap back” effect).
Pan Delay
1~3
The repetitions move between left and
right. This is effective when listening in ste-
reo. 1, 2 and 3 have progressively longer
delay times.
Pan
Delay 4
This is a rather short delay with the echoes
moving between left and right. It is effec-
tive when listening in stereo (a kind of ste-
reo “slap back” effect).
Delay®
Rev
Reverb is added to the Delay sound which
moves between left and right. It is effective
when listening in stereo.
Pan
Repeat
The delay signal moves between the left
and right channels, yet the stereo position
is different from the effects listed above. It
is effective when listening in stereo.
