MIDI Effects
MIDI Echo
NOTE
The echo time can also be affected by the Delay Decay parameter.
NOTE
During live mode, this parameter has no effect since the first echo is always played
together with the note event itself.
Delay
The echoed notes are repeated according to this value. You can either set this
to rhythmically exact values or activate the PPQ button and choose a PPQ value.
This makes it easy to find rhythmically relevant delay values, but still allows for
experimental settings in between.
Delay Decay
Adjusts how the echo time changes with each successive repeat. The value is set as a
percentage.
● If this is set to 100 % the echo time is the same for all repeats.
● If you raise the value above 100 %, the echoing notes play with gradually
longer intervals, that is, the echo becomes slower.
● If you lower the value below 100 %, the echoing notes become gradually
faster, like the sound of a bouncing ball.
Length
Sets the length of the echoed notes. This can either be identical with the length
of the original notes (parameter set to its lowest value) or the length you specify
manually. You can either set this to rhythmically exact values (displayed as note
values – see the table below) or activate the PPQ button and choose a PPQ value.
NOTE
The length can also be affected by the Length Decay parameter.
Length Decay
Adjusts how the length of the echoed notes changes with each successive repeat.
The higher the setting, the longer the echoed notes.
About Ticks and Note Values
The timing and position-related parameters (Delay, Length, and Beat Align) can all
be set in ticks. There are 480 ticks to each quarter note. The parameters allow you to
step between the rhythmically relevant values. The following table shows the most
common note values and the corresponding number of ticks.
Note Value Ticks
1/32 note 60
1/16 note triplet 90
1/16 note 120
1/8 note triplet 160
1/8 note 240
Quarter note triplet 320
Quarter note 480
