Stereo and Mono Modes
Normally, the
Looping Delay
operates in
Mono Mode
, where a mono signal is
input in the
In
jack, and the echoes, loops, and delayed signal is taken out of
the
Audio Out
jack. In this mode, the
Send
and
Return
jacks function as
additional inputs and outputs, but the delay signal path remains mono.
The
Looping Delay
can also function as a stereo delay by using the
Return
and
Send
jacks as right channel input and output, and the
In
and
Audio Out
jacks as left channel input and output. In
Stereo Mode
, there are two isolated
signal paths (left and right channels), whose parameters are always the same. That is, the
Time
,
Feedback
,
Delay Feed
, and
Mix
amounts are always the same for both channels, being controlled by
the knobs and CV jacks. In
Stereo Mode
, the maximum delay time is exactly half of the amount in
Mono
Mode
.
To change between
Mono
and
Stereo Modes
, hold down the
Reverse
and
Inf. Hold
buttons for about 2
seconds. The
Reverse
and
Inf. Hold
lights will flash to indicate which mode is now active: rapidly
alternating means
Stereo Mode
, and more slowly flashing together means
Mono Mode
. Release the
buttons when you see the lights flash. There may be a discontinuity, click, or some unwanted sounds
when changing modes.
Octave Up/Down When Changing Modes
If you have any sound already recorded into memory (for example, if you’re looping, or if you have
Feedback
set above zero and played something recently), the pitch of that sound will jump up or down
by an octave. When changing to
Stereo Mode
, the pitch will jump up, and when changing to
Mono
Mode
it will jump down. This can be used as a special effect, but if you don’t want to hear this effect,
clear the memory before changing modes (see next section).
Memory Clear
When using the
Looping Delay
with
Feedback
up
and long loop times, it can take a while for the
sound to die out after the input signal is muted.
This is, of course, a very nice and useful effect, but
if you find yourself needing to clear the memory
more quickly you can do so by making sure the
Time
switch is down or centered, and holding down
all three buttons (
Reverse, Ping,
and
Inf. Hold)
for
about three seconds. The lights will flash once and you may hear a beeping sound briefly while the
memory is cleared. Let go of the buttons and the buffer will be cleared. Note that if the
Time
switch is
flipped up, this button combination will enter
System Mode
. If you accidentally do this, press and
release all three buttons quickly to return to
Normal Mode
.
