    Overview Overview About the delay time The effect section of the consists of a two-band EQ TimeRatio and two insert effects per timbre, and one master effect For delay effects, the actual delay time is determined by for the entire program. You can use the EQ and insert ef- multiplying the delay time with the “TimRatio (TimeR- fects to create the sound of each timbre, and use the mas- atio).”...
