Delay (Green) 186
 Delay Time & Delay Ratio
If “To Tempo” is not engaged, then Delay Time controls the absolute delay time in milliseconds. The maximum delay
time is 2000 ms. As you dial through the delay times, you will notice the change in pitch, typical of tape-speed
changes in a tape delay.
In several delay types, you will also find a setting for “Delay Ratio”. This soft knob sets the time (in percentage) of the
respective delay taps relative to the sole Delay Time found in this delay type. Thus, when the Delay Time is
changed, all the dependent delay taps will change their times as well, according to this ratio. This means that if you
change the pattern length using the Delay Time parameter, the rhythm pattern created by the multiple taps is always
maintained.
 Note Value
If you activate the “To Tempo” option, then the controls for Delay Time or Delay Ratio change their identifiers to Note
Value. Now, the delay times are set in note values, and will therefore depend on the actual tempo.
The tempo can either be tapped with the TAP button or determined automatically by the Beat Scanner, activated
when you press and hold the TAP button instead. Please learn more about the tempo capabilities in the chapter
Tempo.
When you change Note Values, the transition to the new values will happen seamlessly without pitch changes or
other side-effects.
 Feedback
The Feedback parameter determines the amount of delayed signal that is thrown back to the input of the delay,
resulting in an "echo of the echo". When Feedback is at zero, there will only be one audible repeat. As you increase
the Feedback, the number of repeats increases until, at “100%” (center position), the delayed signal will continue to
repeat indefinitely.
