Delay Sliders
The following is a list of sliders available for each selected delay. Slide left to decrease the delay time and
slide right to increase the delay time. Some delays have a ‘tap’ function in which case you tap the ‘tap’
button at the rate you would like the delay.
Delay (Mono, Tape Echo)
—
This slider sets the current delay time in milliseconds, from 10 ms to 1600 ms.
A tap button resides in the upper-left corner of the delay image if you would rather tap the preferred
delay tempo.
Delay L (Stereo, Ping-Pong)
—
This slider sets the left side current delay time in milliseconds, from
10 ms to 1600 ms. A tap l button resides in the upper-left corner of the delay image if you would rather
tap the preferred delay tempo.
Delay R (Stereo, Ping-Pong)
—
This slider sets the right side current delay time in milliseconds, from
10 ms to 1600 ms. A tap r button resides in the upper-right corner of the delay image if you would rather
tap the preferred delay tempo.
Delay 1 (Multi-Tap)
—
This slider sets one delay time in milliseconds, from 10 ms to 1600 ms. A tap 1 button
resides in the upper-left corner of the delay image if you would rather tap the preferred delay tempo.
Delay 2 (Multi-Tap)
—
This slider sets a second delay time in milliseconds, from 10 ms to 1600 ms.
A tap 2 button resides in the upper-right corner of the delay image if you would rather tap the preferred
delay tempo.
Feedback (All)
—
This controls how much of the delayed signal is routed back to the input of the delay
section, to create multiple echoes. The feedback gain is less than one, so each time the signal is fed back,
the delayed signal becomes quieter (so the echo won’t go on forever). It ranges from 0% to 100%.
Damping (All)
—
This applies a low-pass filter to the delayed signal and rolls off the higher frequencies.
It ranges from 500 Hz to 20 kHz.
