The Effects Menus - The Delay Menu
To complement the front panel controls in the Effects section, there are
many other functions located within the Effects Menus. These are
selected by pressing the keypad ‘5’ button when the K-Station is in
Menu Mode.
The Effects Menus comprise of seven separate sub-Menus (one for
each different type of effect available on the K-Station). The actual sub-
Menu accessed will be determined by whichever Effect type is currently
selected by the SELECT buttons within the Effects Section.
In an Effect sub-Menu, it is also possible at any time, to switch instantly
to a new sub-Menu relating to a different effect, simply by selecting the
effect using the Effects SELECT buttons.
The comprehensive Delay effects processor has many programmable
functions. These may be edited to create the desired delay effect for a
particular sound and saved along with the sound. Use the PAGE
up/down buttons to scroll through the Menu functions available - See
table below.
Time (Menu Page 1)
Controls the amount of time it takes for the delayed signal to be heard
after the original signal.
Feedback (Menu Page 2)
Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay
input. No feedback produces a slapback echo effect, just one delayed
sound with no repeats. Small amounts of feedback produce repeated
sounds resulting in a multiple echo effect. Large amounts of feedback
produces infinite echoes.
Sync Time (Menu Page 3)
Enables the time of the Delay repeats to be synchronized to the tempo
of a song.
The following table gives the range of synchronization values available.
When a sync interval is selected, the tempo of the Delay is controlled
by the Arpeggiator’s TEMPO knob when MIDI Clock Source is set to
INT, or by the external sequencer’s tempo when MIDI Clock Source is
set to EXT. See Page 35 for setting the Global MIDI Clock Source
from INT to EXT or vice versa
When controlling the Delay Sync Time from a sequencer, it is impor-
tant to ensure that the sequencer is transmitting MIDI Clock messages.
Consult the sequencer manual for details.
Note : When the Sync Time function is set to OFF, the timing of the
delay repeats will be controlled by the setting of the Time function
(Menu Page 4). Any incoming MIDI clock messages or Arpeggiator
TEMPO settings will be ignored by the Delay effect.
Stereo Width (Menu Page 4)
This sets the Stereo spread between the long and short Delay times.
With a width setting of zero, both delays appear in the middle of the
stereo field (Mono). At maximum width setting, the longer delay will
appear on one output and the shorter on the other, producing a dra-
matic stereo effect.
Left / Right Time Ratio (Menu Page 5)
Automatically adjusts the ratio of the longest
delay time and the shorter delay time into
timings that are musically useful.
Use the DATA knob to select the most suit-
able ratio. A Simple, equal 1 to 1 ratio is the
first entry in the table. This setting sends a
delay of equal time to the left and right output
channels. The number in the left column of
the table indicates the ratio of the delay time
that will be in the left channel versus the
number in the right column.
For example, if a delay of twice the time is
required in the left channel compared to the
right, select the 2/1 option. The final 1/OFF and OFF/1 options will
result in no delay being heard in the channel indicated by the ‘OFF’.
Note: Selecting a 1/1 ratio will produce a mono effect regardless of the
Stereo width setting since the timing of the echos are equal.
Wheel Level (Menu Page 6)
Sets how much the movement of the K-Station’s Modulation wheel will
introduce the delay effect.
