When Time Warp is selected, the Modulation knob adds synchronized pitch
vibrato to the delay signal in three different sync ranges.
12. Multiplier Button
The Multiplier button changes the repeat rate by a fixed multiple or sub-multiple
of the quarter note reference delay time (up to a maximum of five seconds;
multiplying the reference delay time to more than five seconds pushes it out of
range, indicated by dashes ---- in the display). For example, if your current
reference delay time is set to 1 second, setting the tempo multiplier to the quarter
note value will cause the current pattern to be repeated every second. If you
change the tempo multiplier (by pressing the multiplier button) to the half note
setting, the pattern will repeat every two seconds. When the "triplet" eighth
note setting is selected, the pattern will repeat every 1/3 of a second. The tempo
multiplier also makes it easier to create off-beat delay patterns. For example, if
you use the dotted eighth note setting with a single delay, you can play on eight
note boundaries and get delays played back in between your own notes.
Note: Even though the tempo multiplier always changes the delay time, the
display will not reflect this if it is set to show BPM because BPM timing is always
reported in terms of quarter note beats. To switch between BPM display and time
display, press and hold the Multiplier button for one second.
13. Tempo/Memory Footswitch
The Tempo/Memory Footswitch's function depends on the state of the Memory
Indicator LED. When the Memory Indicator LED is off, the footswitch can
be used to tap out a tempo that will be reflected in the display. Otherwise, the
footswitch advances to the next memory location each time it is pressed. See the
Memory Indicator LED description on page 4 for more information.
Additionally, this footswitch can be used to set several important delay effect
parameters using only your guitar. Pressing and holding the Tempo/Memory
footswitch activates the Smart Strum feature. With the Smart Strum feature,
you can do the following: strum a chord to set the scale used for voicings with
intelligent shifts, or strum at a steady beat to set the reference delay time. Also, if
the time pattern knob is set to "Strum", you can strum a time pattern, as described
on page 13.
