[5] DELAY button
When in Edit mode, press this button to edit the amount of delay to apply to every step in a
track. Unlike Swing, which delays every other step, the delay parameter causes every step to
lag behind the clock at the selected rate. Delay editing is available when the DELAY button
glows red .
When editing delay values, the top row of buttons sets the amount all steps are delayed (in
percent). That is, delay options range from 0% (no delay) on the leftmost button, to 58% delay
on the rightmost button.
To set the Delay amount for the selected track, simply press the top row button corresponding
to the desired value. If you press and hold the value button (long-press), you apply the Delay
setting to all four tracks simultaneously.
In the following example, Delay is set to 33%.
NOTE : If a track employs both a Delay and Swing (discussed above), those offsets will be
summed. Gate lengths are maintained, however, if a step is swung and/or delayed so much
that the requested gate length would overlap into the next step — then Steppy automatically
shortens the gate to insure every step triggers.
