[. . . ] Press the DELAY/MOD pedal in timing with the tempo more than two times. The reference tempo is determined by the time interval between each press of the pedal. The reference tempo is calculated in terms of quarter notes, and the delay time setting is the dotted eighth note as referenced to the reference tempo. The pedal indicator flashes in time with the tempo. fig. 0141 Timing Delay Sound Adding a Delay Synchronized to the Performance Tempo The delay time can be set according to the tempo input when the TYPE is set to ANALOG DLY, 0-400 ms DLY, 300-1400 ms DLY, or CHO+DELAY. The delay time can be set within the range of 62 ms to 1400 ms. You can set this regardless of whether the effect is on or off. Hold down the DELAY/MOD pedal for at least two seconds. · If the DELAY/MOD pedal is pressed when the effect is on, the pedal indicator goes out, and the effect is turned off. · If the DELAY/MOD pedal is pressed when the effect is off, the pedal indicator turns red, and the effect is turned on. When you continue to depress the pedal, after two seconds the pedal's indicator starts to flash, and the tempo can then be set with the effect on. Here, the delay time is indicated by the value set with the TIME/RATE knob. The effect goes on, and instead of flashing, the pedal indicator will light. * If you move the TIME/RATE knob after finishing this setting, the rate corresponding to the knob position takes effect.

(Example) When TYPE is 0-400 ms When the delay time for the tempo setting is 600 ms: Stored as 400 ms. (Example) When TYPE is 300-1400 ms When the delay time for the tempo setting is 200 ms: Stored as 300 ms. You can use a foot switch to set the DELAY/MODULATION tempo. For more detailed information, refer to "Using the Foot Switch" (p. 26). A Note About the Quantize Function When you set tempo using the DELAY/MOD pedal or start recording in HOLD DLY while the KICK DRUM is playing drum beat, the set tempo or the recording time is adjusted automatically by the tempo of the drum beat.
