Note:

The maximum delay time is 1 second. The combination of longer

synced delay times with slower tempos can result in delay times that would

be greater than 1 second. When that happens, the delay time is divided by

2 until it no longer exceeds the 1 second limit. For example, if the BPM is

set to 60 and Delay Time is set to Half, the expected delay time would be 2

seconds. The actual delay time will be 1 second (2 seconds divided by 2).

LP/HP Freq: 0…127

—Sets the cutoff frequency of the lowpass or highpass

filter in the output/feedback path. A lowpass setting of 127 results in no filter-

ing. The highpass filter works just the opposite, where a setting of 127 equals

maximum filtering.

Mode: Lowpass, Highpass

—Selects either a lowpass or highpass filter in the

output/feedback path. Use the lowpass filter to create natural sounding echoes

and analog tape echo effects. The highpass filter can create interesting flange

effects and unnatural sounding echoes.

Delay Pan: 0…127

—Allows you to pan the output of the delay anywhere in

the stereo field. This is very useful in creating a rich stereo image as well as for

ping-pong effects.

Delay Pan is also a modulation destination. That is, the stereo pan position of the

delayed signal can be modulated using an LFO or any mod source in the modula-

tion matrix.
