Note: Delay Designer offers 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 at which it was created,
some taps may fall outside the 10-second limit. In such cases, these taps will not be played
but will be retained as part of the setting.
Sync button: Enables or disables synchronized mode.
Grid pop-up menu: Provides several grid resolutions, which correspond to musical note
durations. The grid resolution, along with the project tempo, determines 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.
As an example, imagine a project with the current tempo set to 120 beats per minute.
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 would immediately shift Tap A to 375 ms. If you subsequently
moved Tap A forward in time, it would snap 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 would
automatically snap to the nearest division (500 ms), and could be moved to 750 ms,
1000 ms, 1250 ms, and so on.
Swing field: Determines how close to the absolute grid position every second grid
increment will be. A Swing 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.
