DEL AY
The DELAY unit produces echo/repeat effects. The
Delay time is set by tapping the TEMPO button, or
by pressing down on it and SET the tempo using the
Program section dial.
With the Tempo Set button pressed down, the
Dry/Wet knob can be turned and used as a
short-cut for changing the tempo.
The FEEDBACK button determines the number of
delay repeats, or taps. At the lowest setting (LED
unlit) only the initial tap is heard, while the 1, 2 and 3
settings give an increasingly long feedback tail.
PING PONG
In PING PONG mode (Shift + Tempo) delay repeats
alternate between the left and right channels. If
short delay times are used, these repeats will be
“asymmetrical” and produce delays that are more like early reflections in
reverb units.
The DRY/WET knob adjusts the balance between the dry signal and the
delay repeats.
TEMPO TAP
Use TAP to set a delay time matching the tempo of a song. Simply tap
the Tempo button in the tempo you wish the delay to sync to a number
of times, and the delay time will be adjusted automatically.
M The Delay unit can be set to have effect on all Layers, indicated by
all source LEDs being lit.
REVERB
The REVERB unit simulates the natural sound
reflections in various acoustic environments. The
Reverb is a “global” effect, which is to say that it will
always be applied to all active sound engines.
The Reverb unit is turned On or Off by pressing ON.
The five available reverb types; BOOTH, ROOM, STAGE,
HALL and CATH (Cathedral) represent increasingly
larger environments – from a short, reflective
ambience in Booth mode, through more natural
sounding rooms in Room, Stage and Hall modes to an
extremely large and immersive reverb in Cath mode.
CHORALE (Shift+Type) is a distinctly modulated
variation of each Reverb type, useful to give the
Reverb signal more movement.
With the BRIGHT option active, more high frequency
content will be preserved in the Reverb signal. In DARK
mode, high frequencies are dampened.
The DRY/WET control sets the balance between the unprocessed and
the processed signal.
