Note: Delay Designer has a maximum delay time of 10 seconds. This means that if you load
a setting into a project with a slower tempo (than the tempo saved with the setting), some
taps may fall outside the 10 second limit. In such cases, these taps do not play but are
retained as part of the setting.
Sync parameters
• Sync button: Turn synchronized mode on or off.
• Grid pop-up menu: Choose a grid resolution from several musical note durations.
The grid resolution (and project tempo) sets the length of each grid increment. As
you change grid resolutions, the increments shown in the Identification bar change
accordingly. This also determines a step limitation for all taps.
For example, imagine a project with a tempo of 120 bpm. The Grid pop-up menu
value is set to 1/16 notes. At this tempo and grid resolution, each grid increment is
125 milliseconds (ms) apart. If Tap A is currently set to 380 ms, turning on sync mode
shifts Tap A to 375 ms. If you try to move Tap A forward in time, it snaps to 500 ms,
625 ms, 750 ms, and so on. At a resolution of 1/8 notes, the steps are 250 milliseconds
apart, so Tap A automatically snaps to the nearest division (500 ms) and could be
moved to 750 ms, 1000 ms, 1250 ms, and so on.
• Swing field: Determine how close to the absolute grid position every second grid
increment will be.
• A setting of 50% means that every grid increment has the same value.
• Settings below 50% result in every second increment being shorter in time.
• Settings above 50% result in every second grid increment being longer in time.
Tip: Use subtle grid position variations of every second increment (values between
45% and 55%) to create a less rigid rhythmic feel. High Swing values are unsubtle
because they place every second increment directly beside the subsequent increment.
Make use of higher values to create interesting and intricate double rhythms with some
taps, while retaining the grid to lock other taps into more rigid synchronization with the
project tempo.
