Steppy 3U Manual
5. DELAY button
When in Edit mode, press this button to edit the
amount of delay to apply to every step in a track.
Unlike Swing, which delays every
other
step, the
delay parameter causes
every
step to lag behind the
clock at the selected rate. Delay editing is available
when the DELAY button glows
red
.
When editing delay values, the left column of buttons
sets the amount all steps are delayed (in percent).
That is, delay options range from 0% (no delay) on
the top button, to 58% delay on the bottom button.
To set the Delay amount for the selected track, simply
press the left column button corresponding to the
desired value. If you press
and hold
the value button
(long-press), you apply the Delay setting to all four
tracks simultaneously.
In this example, Delay is set to 33%.
NOTE : If a track employs both a Delay and Swing
(discussed previously), those offsets will be summed.
Gate lengths are maintained, however, if a step is
swung and/or delayed so much that the requested
gate length would overlap into the next step — then
Steppy automatically shortens the gate to insure
every step triggers.
