Tap Delay
The Taboo Twin allows you to change the current delay time settings for the Delay 1 and Delay 2 parameters
while you are playing by connecting a momentary footswitch to the rear panel F
OOTSWITCH
jack. When the Footswitch
function is activated, tapping the footswitch will change the current delay time based on the amount of time that
passes between taps. The Taboo Twin will detect the amount of time between any two taps that are less than one
second apart
(i.e., if more than one second passes after the first tap, two more taps — less than one second apart
— will be required to change the delay time again).
After the Taboo Twin detects the length of time between each tap, it then multiplies or divides that time based on
the type of note stored in each of the DELAY 1 and DELAY 2 parameters of the Footswitch function. The resulting
delay time can be:
• one-fourth of the time between taps (SIXTEEN)
• one-half of the time between taps (EIGHTH)
• two-thirds of the time between taps (TRIPLET)
• equal to the time between taps (QUARTER)
• two times the amount of time between taps (HALF), or
• four times the amount of time between taps (WHOLE)
The maximum delay time the Taboo Twin provides is 1000ms, therefore the Tap Delay feature will default to a
lower parameter value when the time between taps requires a delay time over 1000ms. For example, if the WHOLE
setting is stored for the Delay 1 parameter and the time between taps is 300ms, a delay time of 1200ms would be
required (i.e. 300ms x 4). Because the maximum delay time is 1000ms, the Taboo Twin will default to the next lower
multiplier (HALF) and provide a delay time two-times the delay time detected (600ms). If the delay time was over
1000ms again, the unit would then provide the QUARTER note equivalent. NONE can also be selected for the Delay
1 and Delay 2 parameters so that they will not respond to taps on the footswitch.
With the M
ENU
button lit, turn the F
UNCTION
S
ELECT
control to "FOOTSWITCH".
Turn the P ARAMETER S ELECT control one step clockwise to display the current momentary
footswitch "TYPE" (normally open or normally closed).
