Delay Types
Reverse (

)
The Reverse delay type records the input signal in “chunks” with a length equal
to the current delay time setting, and then plays these sound segments back
in reverse. Unlike other reverse effects in which the chunks are arbitrary, the
TimeBender
TM
starts chunks at note onsets where possible in order to avoid
having notes cross chunk boundaries. When using Reverse, the Mix knob starts
to attenuate (reduce) the dry signal when you turn the knob up, so you can
adjust the wet/dry mix.
Envelope

)
The Envelope delay type creates delayed versions of the input signal using a
completely different approach than the other delays. As an input signal is being
played, equal duration “slices” of the current signal are played back with a
particular voicing (as specified by the voicing encoder). The Repeats knob can
be used to alter the shape of each slice; for example, at the maximum position,
a reverse envelope shape is created having a slow attack and very quick decay.
When using Envelope, the Mix knob starts to attenuate (reduce) the dry signal
when you turn the knob up, so you can adjust the wet/dry mix.
Looper (

Loop
)
The Looper lets you record, overdub, start and stop loops. What makes this
Looper special is the fact that it analyzes your start and stop loop points and
automatically adjusts these in order to get the cleanest loop possible. This makes
it much easier to set up a loop because you don’t need to be nearly as accurate
as with traditional looper pedals. See page 14 for a detailed description of how
to use the Looper.
