Using the Effects
DELAY/MODULATION
fig.0140
This provides the delay effect, in which the sound is
slightly delayed and is fed back to the direct sound, and
the modulation effect, which adds a sort of swell to the
sound to give it greater breadth.
The ME-50B comes equipped with eleven different delay
and modulation effects. You can select and use any one
of these effects at a time.
DELAY/MOD pedal
The Delay/Modulation is switched on or off each time you
press the pedal. When switched on, the DELAY/MOD
indicator and pedal indicator light up.
* When .TAP DLY is selected, holding down the DELAY/
MOD pedal for at least two seconds, causes the effect to turn
off.
* When HOLD DLY is selected, you cannot switch the effect on/
off by pressing the pedal.
* DELAY ON/OFF switches the Delay at the input to provide a
more natural effect. For this reason, if the FEEDBACK is
turned up when the Delay is turned off, the delay sound will
remain briefly.
* When a setting other than HOLD DLY, CHO + REVERB, or
REVERB is selected, you can use the DELAY/MOD pedal to
input the tempo, and set the delay time synchronized to the
performance tempo.
“ .TAP DLY” (refer to the following)
“Adding a Delay Synchronized to the Performance
Tempo” (p. 16)
“Adding a Modulation Synchronized to the Performance
Tempo” (p. 17)
TYPE knob
Selects the effect to be used from the eleven different effects
that are available.
.TAP DLY
This is a tempo delay that lets you set a dotted eighth
note delay time for the performance tempo by pressing
the DELAY/MOD pedal in time with the performance
tempo.
* The delay time can be set within the range of 46.5 ms to 1050
ms.

TIME/RATE knob
This has no effect or function.
FEEDBACK/DEPTH knob
Adjusts the amount of feedback (number of repeats).
Turning the knob to the right increases the number of
times the sound repeats.
E.LEVEL/RESONANCE knob
Adjusts the volume of the delay sound.
HOLD DLY
Up to 2.8 seconds of performance content is recorded,
then played back repeatedly. You can also layer this as
you perform something else, then record these together
(overdub).
You can keep the recorded content playing continuously
as backing and produce other special effects.
