most delay time settings. With the FEEDBACK knob turned
clockwise past 8, the echoes will grow in amplitude until they reach
the overload point of the delay circuitry. In addition, the background
noise will also build up and compete with the delayed signal.
When you switch your MF-104Z into BYPASS, the feedback loop will
shut down and the echo stream will die out within less than a second.
Then, when you switch your MF-104Z on again, a new echo stream
will begin to build up. This is a convenient way of `canceling' an echo
stream while you're playing.
The SHORT-LONG switch works with the DELAY TIME control.
The delay time range is 50 milliseconds to 500milliseconds when the
switch is on SHORT, and 100 to 1000 milliseconds when the switch is
on LONG. In addition, the frequency response of the delay circuit is
more restricted when the switch is on LONG than it is when the
switch is on SHORT.
The INT.LOOP-EXT.LOOP
switch selects the feedback path.
When this switch is in INT.LOOP, the feedback path goes directly
from the output of the delay circuit back to the input. When this
switch is in EXT.LOOP, the feedback loop goes through the LOOP
OUT
jack and the LOOP IN jack. This provides you with an
opportunity to insert a signal processor of your choice in the feedback
path, thereby enabling you to process the echoes as they're being
generated. The LOOP GAIN knob affects only the external loop, and
has no effect whatsoever when the switch is set on INT.LOOP.
Detailed information on using the external loop and setting the LOOP
GAIN
knob is given in the next two sections.
