38 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual
Delay, Echo

These effects add one or more delayed sound. Karaoke echo is a typical example, used to add depth to the sound. The delay

can repeat while diminishing. Some of these effects let you synchronize the delay to the tempo.

The differences between the effects are summarized below.

Mono Delay (PRESET bank)

These are basic delay effects. A monaural delayed sound will follow the original sound.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters.
Delay sound: DELAY, FB.GAIN, HI.RATIO
Tempo synchronization: SYNC, NOTE, TEMPO
Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF
Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

Parameter name Range Explanation
DELAY 0.0—2730.0 ms Delay relative to the original sound.
FB.GAIN –99%—+99%
Amount of feedback for the delay sound. This indicates the ratio by which the level is reduced
when repeating the effect. For example with a setting of +50, the level of the delay sound will decay
to 50% 25% 12.5% as it is repeated. Negative (–) values invert the phase of the feedback.
HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0
Amount of feedback for the high-frequency portion of the delay sound. This is specified as a pro-
portion of FB.GAIN. If this value is 0.1, the feedback amount will be 1/10th of FB.GAIN; if this
value is 1.0, the feedback amount will be the same as FB.GAIN.
