[. . . ] When feedback is set to zero, triple overlay can be achieved (creates the impression that three players are performing). St Stereo version of NORMAL TWIN DELAY. Tap 1 is output to the left channel and Tap 2 to the right channel. n Using a short delay time will create an echo effect similar to reverb, and using a long delay time will create a spacious echo effect you might experience on top of a mountain. S Stereo version of ECHO. M4 Rhythmical multi-tap delay enabling four types of tap (independent delay). M6 Multi-tap delay enabling four types of tap. PARAMETER 2 DELAY TIME (X100 ms) PARAMETER 3 DELAY TIME (X1 ms) PARAMETER 4 FEEDBACK PARAMETER 5 Delay time is set in units of 100 ms. In combination with PARAMETER 3, you can set from 1 ms up to 4000 ms. When you press the +/- keys simultaneously, the value changes in tens -- 10, 20. . . 90, 99. Range of setting The larger the value, the longer the delay time. HINT Selection !change of parameters to 0 40 As described in 11. Editing Patches, parameters to be edited are selected by repeatedly pressing the EDIT key, but you can also use the patch pedals for this purpose. Press the PATCH UP pedal (right patch pedal) to move the parameter cursor from the bottom up. Press the PATCH DOWN pedal (left patch pedal) to move the parameter cursor from the top down. HINT performance will be played back to the end, then the Hold function will be canceled. (The HOLD/TAP indicators will go off. ) Original dry sound Effect sound Sampling Delay time is set in units of 1 ms. This parameter is used for fine adjustment of the delay time roughly set with PARAMETER 2. Range of setting The larger the value, the longer the delay time. When PARAMETER 2 is set to "0", the setting range becomes 1 - 99. When you press the +/- keys simultaneously, the value changes in tens -- 10, 20. . . 90, 99.

Range of setting The larger the value, the longer the delay time. When you press the +/- keys simultaneously, the value changes in tens -- 10, 20. . . 90, 99. Normally, the bypass function is used for turning the delay function off during performance. However, a patch should be prepared with the effect turned off if you do not want to use a delay sound with the next patch when using the seamless function to hold the delay sound of the previous patch. To turn the effect off, enter Edit mode and select a parameter other than Hold/Tap, and press the left and right patch pedals simultaneously. This operation turns the effect off, and the parameter cursor LEDs for DELAY TYPE will go off. Further, the display will change as below. Display for effect off when the Delay Type parameter has been selected. Display for effect off when another parameter (except Hold/Tap) has been selected.
