NOTES
9.6 Master Delay.
Delay is second of the two send effects. A send effect basically routes an
adjustable amount of audio in parallel to its main signal path and is sent to
a common audio effect. In this case delay. This delay affected audio is then
returned back to the main audio path. The effect itself is a common
function, managing several send / return signals.
What is a delay effect?
A delay is a commonly used audio effect which delays an incoming signal to
the output. When feedback is applied, this creates a repeated echo like
effect. While this is a simple principle there are many effects that use delay
as a foundation. Some examples as well as echo are chorus (short delay
taps to give a thicker rather than echo style feel), ping-pong delay
(spreading the delay points across the stereo eld left to right) and slap-
back delay (emulating old tape delays which are used successfully to
thicken vocals).
Delay is a time based effect and is typically synchronised (or not) with the
track tempo. The detailed parameters are set and locked into the preset.
In Play+ there are two factors that can be controlled for delay:-
• The send amount between 0% - 100%. This is set with the ‘Delay
Send’ Parameter knob and is applied to individual steps or a track.
Tap to select the secondary, Delay Send parameter and adjust with
the Parameter knob or (Screen) knob.
• The preset which will automatically congure the style and character
of the main delay. This applies to the main FX and therefore will take
input from all send signals.
A series of delay patches can also be triggered in Perform Mode.

Time delay between input and output.
Connecting the output to the input creates feedback
and increases the delay ‘events’.
