Pre Delay

Sets the amount of time between an input sound and the first delay tap. Pre delay time
presented as a fraction of the Time or Beats setting. For example, a pre delay twice the
length of the delay time would be set with ½.

Pre delay time is useful both as a creative effect and for creating space: long pre delays
are quite useful when creating rhythmic echoes, and short pre delays change the
perception of sound location.

Tap Total

Sets the number of taps. With regen at minimum, this will be the number of echoes
heard. Tap buttons are active when illuminated white or purple, and inactive when unlit
gray.

Tap lights

Tap enable/disable buttons. Taps are audible when purple, muted
when white, and disabled when gray. Useful for creating rhythmic delay patterns.
