How To Change The Pitch And/Or Tempo Of The Loop You Recorded; How To Reverse A Loop And Then Overdub Over It; How To Use The 16 Second Digital Delay As A Delay/Echo - Electro-Harmonix 16 Second Digital Delay Instructions Manual

6. Set the FEEDBACK Slider to the very top of its travel.
7. Set CLIX to the top. Now you will be able to hear the metronome Clix
during Recording.
8. Set the EFFECT OUT and DRY OUT Sliders to about half way.
9. Set the INPUT GAIN Slider so that the green LED lights up but the
orange LED does not.
10. Hit the RECORD Footswitch. Immediately you will hear the metronome
Clix and the RECORDING LED will blink rapidly. This means that the 16
Second Delay is giving you a 4-beat count-in before it starts to Record.
11. After the 4-beat count-in, begin playing. The 16 Second Delay will record
your loop.
12. After 2-bars (or 8-beats) the 16 Second will enter Overdub mode. The
PLAYING LED will light while the RECORDING LED remains lit and
you will hear what you just recorded.
13. Now you can Overdub or record over the original loop that you recorded.
14. To turn off the metronome Clix, move the CLIX Slider approximately half
way down.

How to Change the Pitch and/or Tempo of the Loop You Recorded:

1. If you are currently in Overdub Mode, hit the RECORD Footswitch to put
the 16 Second Delay into PLAYING Mode. The RECORDING LED
should go off, but the PLAYING LED will remain lit.
2. Set the FINE Switch to "P" so that both Pitch and Tempo will change with
the FINE Slider.
3. Slowly push the FINE Slider up to its top position. The loop's pitch will
go lower and the tempo will slow down.
4. Slowly push the FINE Slider all the way down to its bottom position. The
pitch and tempo of the loop will increase. When the FINE Slider is at the
same position that the loop was recorded at, the FINE LED, above the
FINE Slider, will light up.
5. Now set the FINE Switch to the "T" position. Right away the pitch of the
loop should jump back to the original pitch it was recorded at but the
tempo is still faster. This effect works best when the tempo is near its
original tempo.

How to Reverse a Loop and then Overdub over it:

1. Put the 16 Second Delay into Playing Mode: If you are in Overdubbing
Mode, hit the RECORD Footswitch, if you are in Bypass, hit the PLAY
Footswitch.
2. Slide the Reverse Switch. The loop will now play in Reverse. If the loop is
at its original Pitch and Tempo, the FINE LED will blink rapidly to let you
know the loop has been Reversed.
3. Hit the RECORD Footswitch. The RECORDING LED will light, you are
now in Overdubbing Mode.
4. Important! Please note: when you Reverse a loop or change its Pitch or
Tempo, you must Overdub over the entire loop through one full cycle,
otherwise the 16 Second Delay will chop off the portion of the loop that
was not Overdubbed.

How to Use the 16 Second Digital Delay as a Delay/Echo:

1. Hit the BYPASS Footswitch to enter True Bypass Mode.
2. Move the LOOP Switch to the SHORT DELAY position.
3. Set the COARSE Slider to the 32-Bar position.
4. Set the FINE Slider about half way up.
5. Set the SPEED and DEPTH Sliders to the bottom.
6. Set the FEEDBACK Slider to approximately ¾ of the way up.
7. Set the CLIX LEVEL Slider to the bottom.
8. Set the EFFECT OUT and DRY OUT Sliders to about half way.
9. Set the INPUT GAIN Slider so that the green LED lights up but the
orange LED does not.
10. Hit the RECORD Footswitch to enter Short Delay Mode.
11. Move the FINE Slider for different delay times
12. Adjust the COARSE Slider for more dramatic changes in the delay time.
