-Front Face of 16 Second Delay-

- Controls, Indicators & I/O-
The following descriptions detail all of the sliders, switches, LEDs (lights) and I/O jacks
on the 16 Second Delay:
1. LOOP / SHORT DELAY Slide Switch – This is a 3 position slide switch that selects
between two Loop Modes (C and S) and Short Delay Mode:
LOOP C: Continuous Loop Mode. The 16 Second will continually record and
play the loop.
LOOP S: Single Loop Mode. The 16 Second will record the loop once through
and then the 16 Second will automatically switch to Play mode and then play
the Loop continuously.

SHORT DELAY: In Short Delay Mode the 16 Second Delay works as a
dedicated echo/delay pedal with a delay time up to 1 second. When in Short
Delay mode, the 16 Second will also record while delaying. So if you switch to
either of the loop modes from Short Delay mode, the audio in the loop will be
up to the last 4 minutes that were recorded while in Short Delay mode. You can
also hear the loop you have been recording by hitting the Play Footswitch (16)
while in Short Delay mode.
2. COARSE Slider – In Loop Mode, the COARSE Slider sets the maximum loop
length. It is calibrated in bars, where each bar is 4 beats long. The position of the
COARSE Slider is only relevant at the instant that a new recording is started. Moving the
COARSE Slider after a loop has been recorded will have no effect on the loop. When in
the >32 position, the 16 Second Delay will continually record until you hit the Play
Footswitch to stop recording audio. In Short Delay Mode, the COARSE Slider selects
the range of delay time.
3. FINE Slider – In Loop Mode, the FINE Slider sets the tempo of the loop. The range
is from 60 bpm (topmost) to 240 bpm (bottommost). In Short Delay Mode, the FINE
Slider sets the delay time of the echo. In both modes, the tempo that the FINE Slider is
set to will be output as MIDI Clock on the MIDI OUT Jack (23).
4. FINE Switch - Varying the FINE Slider (3) while Playing back a loop will change the
Pitch and Tempo or just the Tempo of the loop. The FINE Switch chooses between these
two modes. If set to "P", both the Pitch & Tempo of the loop will vary with the FINE
Slider. If set to "T", the loop's Tempo will vary but the Pitch of the loop will remain
constant.
5. FINE LED – This LED is located directly above the FINE Slider (3). After recording
a new loop, the FINE LED will glow solid. This tells you that the current position of the
FINE Slider (3) is at the same position that the loop in memory was recorded at. If you
move the FINE Slider, the FINE LED will turn off, if you move the FINE Slider back to
its original position, the LED will light again. If the FWD·REV Switch (18) is toggled
while the FINE Slider is in its original position, the FINE LED will blink. When entering
Overdub mode, after the FINE Slider has moved or the REVERSE switch has been
toggled, the 16 Second will need to cycle through the entire loop one time to save the
changes to the loop. You will see the FINE LED go solid after this one cycle through the
loop.
