ADJUSTING THE DELAY AND REVERB
The settings for Black Box’s beat-synced delay and reverb are accessed by pressing the DELAY button.
The delay time can be either a fixed time or it can be synced to the internal drum machine (or incoming
MIDI Clock). For a complete description, please refer to the full User Guide. Push the DELAY menu key to
bring up the following four menus:
Delay Time - This parameter value sets the time between your original signal and the delayed signal.
There are 100 fixed delay times (shown in milliseconds), followed by 19 beat-synced settings:
2M
2 measures (Uses ‘1M’ below 172 BPM, ‘2n’ below 86 BPM and ‘4n’ below 43 BPM)
2MT
2 measure triplets (3 delays in 4 measures; uses ‘1Mt’ below 115 BPM and ‘2t’ below
58 BPM)
1MD
Dotted whole note (1.5 measures; uses ‘2d’ below 129 BPM and 4d below 65)
1M
1 measure (Uses ‘2n’ below 86 BPM and ‘4n’ below 43 BPM)
1MT
1 measure triplet (3 delays in 2 measures; uses ‘2t’ below 58 BPM)
2D
Dotted 1⁄2 note (1/2 note + 50%; uses ‘4d’ below 65 BPM)
2N

2T
1⁄2 note triplet (3 delays in 1 measure)
4D
Dotted 1⁄4 note (1/4 note + 50%)
4N

<
SHIFT: To adjust
Reverb High Frequency, select Delay Repeats then double-tap the DELAY
button. (See the “Additional Shift Parameters” section below.) The range is from RHF 0 (least
high frequencies) to RHF 99 (most high frequencies).
