Delays

Delays repeat a sound a short time after it

first occurs. Delay becomes echo when the

output is fed back into the input (feedback).

This turns a single repeat into a series of

repeats, each a little softer than the last.

The

Studio Delay features up to 2.5 sec-

onds of stereo delay and offers a built-in

ducker that attenuates the delay output

whenever signal is present at the input.

This can be used to keep the original sig-

nal from being muddied up by delay

repeats.

The

Digital Delay is the cleanest, most

accurate of the delay programs, with up to

5 seconds of mono delay and the built-in

ducking feature.

In the days before digital, delays were cre-

ated using a special tape recorder in which

the magnetic recording tape was looped,

with closely-spaced recording and play-

back heads. The delay effect was created

by the tape moving in the space between

the record and playback heads – while

delay time was adjusted by changing the

speed of the tape loop. Although very

musical-sounding, wow and flutter com-

bined with a significant loss of high fre-

quencies, and to some extent also low fre-

quencies, are all elements commonly asso-

ciated with tape recordings. The

Tape

Delay

offers up to 5 seconds of mono

delay

.

This delay effect pans the delay repeats

from left to right, while the input signal

remains at its original (center) position.

Pong Delay offers up to 5 seconds of

mono delay time.

The

Modulated Delay is enhanced by an

LFO (low frequency oscillator) that pro-

duces a chorusing effect on the delay

repeats. This is a great delay for guitar and

instrument passages that need that “spe-

cial something.” The

Modulated Delay

features up to 2.5 seconds of stereo modu-

lated delay.

This delay effect emulates the old studio

trick of flipping a tape over, playing it back-

wards through a tape delay, and recording

the effect. The delays “build up” from softer

to louder – creating the sensation that the

delays come before the signal. Very cool

when used judiciously. Up to 5 seconds of

mono delay time are available.

Delay Controls

Time Range

Controls the length of the delay relative to

Tap Tempo. At the 12 o’clock position,

delay repeats are synchronous with the

Tempo light (represented by a Quarter

Note); lower values create faster repeats,

higher values increase the time between

repeats. Range 0-72. See Appendix on

page 39 for exact note values.

Feedback

Controls the number of delay repeats by

feeding the delay output signal back into

the delay input. This creates a series of

delay repeats, each slightly attenuated until

they become inaudible. Higher settings

create more repeats; lower settings reduce

the number of repeats. When this knob is

turned fully clockwise, it engages Repeat

Hold – delay repeats play back in an infi-

nite loop, but no further input signal is

introduced into the delay ef

fect. Repeat

Hold is available only on

Studio, Digital

and Pong Delay.
