EFFECTS 45
 Mix
Determines the volume of the delay signal relative to the direct signal. It works like a send control on a
mixing desk. At three quarters of the range, the delay signal is as loud as the direct signal; beyond this
point it will start to attenuate the dry signal. Eventually, with “Mix” turned all the way to the right, you will
only hear the pure, delayed signal.
 “Delay Mix” is always accessible via the row of knobs in the upper half of the panel.
 Tap Left & Tap Right
(Only in Tap Delay). These two parameters set the delay time of the left and right delay taps in musical
values, creating a nice little delay pattern. Setting both taps to the same value will produce a mono delay,
while dierent values will create a ping-pong delay. Only the left delay will feed its signal back to both
taps, so it’s a good idea to set the left to a bigger value than the right; this will result in a true ping-pong
eect. Swapping the values will result in a dierent pattern. The settings are mostly in multiples of a 16th
notes, including odd values like 5/16 or 7/16. To create more complex and interesting rhythm patterns, try
using a mix of odd and even values.
 To create swing or shue rhythms, try using the triplet values.
 Delay Time & Delay Ratio
(Only in Free Delay and Analog Delay). The “Delay Time” is set in milliseconds. The “Delay Ratio” deter-
mines the ratio of dierent delay times between the left and right delay taps. The “Delay Time” always
represents the longer delay tap, the other “Delay Time” is just a divider of the displayed time. As with the
Tap Delay, the feedback is only taken from the left delay tap; thus, swapping the ratio of the left and right
delay tap will not only reverse the stereo sides, but also produce a dierent rhythm pattern.
 Feedback
“Feedback” determines how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay to be repeated again.
