other words, the left microphone only picks up sound from the left speaker and the right microphone only
picks up sound from the right speaker.
Pitch: (Not used.)
Speed: (Not used.)
Width: Sets the number of taps taken over the course of the delay length. You can have up to 12 taps in the
amplitude and time pattern set by Shape. In the Ambient class, this parameter sets the distance between
the two microphones, from 0 to 2.2 feet.
Special: In Vocal and Gated classes, Special sets the audio input level (Threshold) that controls the gating action
of the effect. This parameter can be set in 1-dB increments, from 1 to 30 dB below full-scale. Normally,
when the input signal is above the Threshold setting, delay is muted. With signals below the Threshold, the
delay is heard. If the value in the Display is preceded by an r ( ), this gating action is reversed; signals
above the Threshold setting have delay and ones below do not.
In the Dynamic Class, Special sets the Threshold that switches the Regen amount from the preset value
to 0. As with the above classes, Threshold can be set from 1 to 30 dB below unity gain. Normally, when
the input signal is below the Threshold’s setting, the delay’s Regen amount is as programmed. When the
input is higher than the Threshold, the Regen value becomes 0. If the value in the Display is preceded by
an r ( ), this function is reversed; the Regen value is 0 when the input signal is below the Threshold and
becomes the set amount when the signal is above the Threshold.
A Threshold setting of
