Ducker Threshold
MX200’s Studio and Digital delays offer a
“ducking” feature, which causes the delay
repeats to attenuate (or get softer) by -6dB
when live (or input) signal is present. This
allows the delay to remain as an effect,
and not clash with the original signal. The
higher this value is set, the louder an input
signal must be for the ducking to take
place.
Smear
This parameter controls the amount of
“smear,” or signal degradation and fre-
quency loss. Particularly evident in the
Tape Delay, the higher the setting, the
more each delay repeat loses intelligibility
compared to the original signal.
Tap Ratio
Tap Ratio sets the length between the first
and second tap repeats of the Pong
Delay. With this control set at 12 o’clock,
repeats are evenly alternated between left
and right channels. As this knob is turned
counter-clockwise, the first tap occurs earli-
er and the second tap occurs later than
they did at the 12 o’clock position. When
the knob is turned clockwise, the first tap
occurs later and the second tap occurs
earlier.
Depth
This controls the intensity of modulation, or
“depth” in the Modulated Delay. Lower
settings produce a more subtle effect,
while higher values give a more “seasick”
feeling.
Tempo Button
Tapping this button twice sets the delay
times. The Tempo button LED flashes the
tempo tapped in, and delay taps will be
synchronized to the flashing LED. Use the
Time Range knob to increase or decrease
delay times after tapping in a tempo.

Hold. (Studio, Digital, and Pong delays only.)
