Control Assignments for Hold Echo Effects

If the track has a BPM tag, the Echo BPM is automatically set 

and a lock icon appears in the Echo section. To manually set the 

BPM of the Echo, tap 

P1

 (or the footswitch) to the beat.

J1 Multiplier

Pressing 

J1

 toggles between normal transform operation (indica

-

tor 

off

) and the BPM Multiplier (green indicator 

on

). With the 

green indicator lit, 

J1

 adjusts the multiplier to 4, 2, 1, 3/4, ½, ¼, 

1/8, or 1/16. Multipliers that exceed the Delay memory will not 

function and are grayed-out in the software control panel. If 

BPM is set with tapping, the multiplier is set to 1. The multiplier 

is not reset when the BPM is set via the ID3 tag, so your subse

-

quent tracks can stay at x4 if you wish. The active Multiplier is 

shown in green text when locked to a BPM.

P1 Delay / Tap BPM

Once you turn 

P1

, the lock icon disappears, the Multiplier 

number turns white and 

P1

 becomes a Delay control. Delay has 

a range of 1ms to 2.9 seconds, and a track without a BPM tag 

will start at 500 ms. A slow turn gives 1ms adjustment resolu

-

tion, while a fast turn increases the resolution to 200 ms per step. 

To get back to the original BPM after adjusting Delay, select a 

multiplier with 

J1,

 and the Multiplier number changes to green. 

A single Tap of 

P1

 resyncs the delay to the BPM.

P2 Feedback

Feedback is the amount of delayed signal fed back to the delay 

input. Feedback minimum to maximum is 11/3 rotations of 

P2

The Delay clears after one circulation when Feedback is brought 

to 0%. The Delay clears immediately when uninserted, but 

changing the insert point does not clear the feedback loop. This 

is useful for adding PGM 2 Echo to the fading PGM 1 Echo. To 

clear the loop and start a fresh Echo immediately, rapid double-

click on the insert point B1, B2, B3 or B4.

Hold Echo Effect

 Differences:

• Feedback starts with 100% but adjustable to 0% with 

P2

.

• Feedback generates as long as it is inserted 

and

 

B6

 is 

on

.

• Delay still loops after 

B6

 is 

off.

 If Feedback is set to 100% it 

will loop for days. The loop will decay if Feedback is reduced. 

Uninsert the Effect to stop the loop immediately.

 

• 

P2

 has no second function in the Hold 

Echo Effect.

 Differences:

• Each delay cycle repeatedly runs through a second-order High 

Pass Filter having a set resonance of 0.7.

• Filter Cutoff Frequency is adjusted with the second function of 

P2

 (green indicator 

on

), adjustable from 31.5 Hz to 16 kHz (9 

octaves). The full sweep of the filter is reached in 11/3 rotations.

J2 Wet / Dry

Pressing 

J2

 toggles between transform operation (indicator 

off

and Wet / Dry control (green indicator 

on

). The default is 50% 

Wet / 50% Dry. Holding the joystick left goes more Dry, to the 

right goes more Wet. Moving the joystick up provides instant, 

momentary 100% Wet. Moving the joystick down provides in

-

stant, momentary 100% Dry. This allows Wet or Dry transform

-

ing with the control returning to the set Wet/Dry ratio when the 

control is at rest (in the center).
