Switch Loops

DlySelectn
You select which delay lines (A, B, C, or D) receive the mono input signal with the
DlySelect (1, 2, 3, or 4) parameters. Since there are four delay lines, you can turn on none,
1, 2, 3, or 4 of the delay lines. All four of the DlySelect parameters are equivalent—it
doesn’t matter which you use. If you turn on a particular delay line in more than one
DlySelect parameter, it’s the same as turning it on in just one DlySelect parameter.
Dly Len n
The delay length of the delay line n (n = A, B, C, or D). If the DecayRate for the delay is
low or Max Fdbk is On, this parameter sets the repeating delay loop length for this delay.
The delay length is specified as a fraction or multiple of the tempo, in “beats.” The length
of a delay loop in seconds can be calculated from beats as T = (beats/tempo)

60.
DecayRaten
The rate at which the delay line n (n = A, B, C, or D) will decay or reduce in level.
DecayRate controls a feedback level which is calculated based on DecayRate and Dly Len.
By basing the feedback gain on DecayRate, all four of the delay lines can decay at the
same rate in spite of differing delay lengths. DecayRate is expressed as decibels of signal
reduction per second.
Gain n
The level of the delay n (n = A, B, C, or D) output tap expressed in decibels.
