Before using this unit, carefully read “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES”
(leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s Manual (p. 26)). After reading, keep the
document(s) including those sections where it will be available for immediate reference.
5 High-precision 96 kHz 32-bit audio processing from input to output ensures high audio quality.
5 Easily visible delay time indication and an independent [TAP/CTL] switch provide sophisticated
functionality that’s easy to use in live performance.
5 A total of 12 dierent delay modes, including “VINTAGE DIGITAL” that models the SDE-3000 and
DD-2, as well as “ANALOG” and “TAPE.”
5 The memory function lets you store and recall 297 dierent setups from internal memory.
“CARRY OVER” provides seamless transition that preserves the reverberant sound when
switching between patches.
5 “Phrase Loop” function lets you layer new material in real time while recording and playing back.
This can be used simultaneously with delay.
5 By connecting the DD-500 via a USB cable or MIDI cables, you can switch sounds and control
parameters in synchronization with your computer DAW or an external MIDI device.
