Bypass Footswitch; Recording And Playing Leds; Footswitch Jack; Output Jack - Electro-Harmonix 16 Second Digital Delay Instructions Manual

17. BYPASS Footswitch – Hitting the BYPASS Footswitch while in either Loop Mode
or Short Delay Mode, will switch the 16 Second into True Bypass Mode. Hitting the
BYPASS Footswitch again will bring you back into the mode you had been in before
hitting the BYPASS Footswitch. In True Bypass Mode, the Recording and/or Playing
LEDs will blink at the tempo set by the FINE Slider. The blinking of these LEDs reveals
two pieces of information:
1) By knowing which LEDs are blinking, you know which mode you will go
back into when you hit the BYPASS Footswitch.
2) The LEDs will show what the tempo is and where the first beat of each bar
is occurring. The Clix LEDs will continue blinking at the set tempo when
in True Bypass Mode but only the left LED will light. When you enter
True Bypass Mode, the loop will continue to play, though it will be
inaudible.
18. FWD·REV Slide Switch – The FWD·REV Switch will Reverse the loop while it is
Playing back. This switch has no function while Recording, Overdubbing or in Short
Delay Mode.
19. RECORDING and PLAYING LEDs – These two LEDs have various functions
depending on which are lit, how they are blinking, and if you are in Loop or Short Delay
Mode:

21. OUTPUT Jack – This ¼" jack is the audio output from the 16 Second. When the 16
Second is in True Bypass mode, the OUTPUT jack is connected directly to the INPUT
jack.
22. FOOTSWITCH Jack – There is an optional Electro-Harmonix FOOT
CONTROLLER for the 16 Second Delay, which can be purchased separately. The Foot
Controller allows you to use the 16 Second remotely. This gives access to special
switches that instantly turn On/Off the Sweep, Reverse and Feedback functions, and shift
the loop Up/Down one Octave, as well as having identical RECORD and PLAY
Footswitches from the main unit. Plug the Foot Controller directly into the
FOOTSWITCH Jack with a standard guitar cable. The power for the FOOT
CONTROLLER will come from the 16 Second Delay.
23. MIDI OUT Jack – The 16 Second Delay generates MIDI Clock, MIDI Start and
MIDI Stop commands.
MIDI CLOCK: The MIDI Clock signal is based on the 16 Second's internal
tempo and is output through the MIDI OUT Jack at all times. The internal
tempo of the 16 Second Delay is determined by the FINE Slider. The MIDI
Clock signal can be used by any other device that accepts MIDI Clock. Hook
up your 16 Second's MIDI OUT Jack to the MIDI In of another device using a
standard MIDI cable. You will then be able to sync a sequencer, drum machine,
or other MIDI devices to the 16 Second Delay. The 16 Second Delay does not
slave to MIDI Clock coming from another device.
MIDI START & STOP: When a loop is started by hitting the PLAY
Footswitch or a new one is created by hitting the RECORD Footswitch, a MIDI
Start command is sent out of the MIDI OUT Jack. When a loop is stopped by
hitting the PLAY Footswitch again, a MIDI Stop command is sent out of the
MIDI OUT Jack. These commands will start and stop a sequencer or drum
machine.
24. POWER Jack – Plug in the wall-wart that came supplied with the 16 Second into the
POWER Jack.
25. VENT Slots – Please do not obstruct the VENT slots. The 16 Second requires the
VENT Slots to breath.
