Chapter 35: Mod Delay II 225
Mod Delay II Tempo Control
This control sets the desired tempo in beats per
minute (bpm). This setting is independent of
Pro Tools’ tempo. When a specific Duration is
selected (see “Duration” below), moving this
control affects the Delay setting. Likewise, the
range of both controls will be limited to the
maximum available delay with the currently se-
lected Duration. To enter very short or long de-
lays it may be necessary to deselect all Duration
buttons.
When Tempo Sync is enabled, the Tempo con-
trol is unavailable.
Mod Delay II Meter Control
Use this control to enter either simple or com-
pound time signatures. The Meter control de-
faults to a 4/4 time signature.
When Tempo Sync is enabled, the Meter control
is unavailable.
Mod Delay II Duration Controls
Specifies a desired delay from a musical per-
spective. Enter the desired delay by selecting ap-
propriate note value (whole note, half note,
quarter note, eight note, or sixteenth note). Se-
lect the Dot or Triplet modifier buttons to dot
the selected note value or make it a triplet. For
example, selecting a quarter note and then se-
lecting the dot indicates a dotted quarter note,
and selecting an eighth note and then selecting
the triplet indicates a triplet eight note.
Mod Delay II Groove Control
This control provides fine adjustment of the de-
lay in percentages of a 1:4 subdivision of the
beat. It can be used to add “swing” by slightly
offsetting the delay from the precise beat of the
track.

It is not possible to exceed the maximum de-
lay length for a particular version of
Mod Delay II. Consequently, when adjust-
ing any of the tempo controls (Tempo, Me-
ter, Duration, and Groove) you may not be
able to adjust the control across its full
range. If you encounter this behavior,
switch to a version of Mod Delay II that has
a longer delay time (for example, switch
from Medium Delay to Long Delay).
