Short Delay Mode:

1. To start Short Delay Mode, set the LOOP Slide Switch to SHORT DELAY.
Then hit the RECORD Footswitch, the short delays will begin immediately.
2. Once you have entered Short Delay Mode, the loop that was in memory will be
erased.
3. Both the COARSE and FINE Sliders determine the total delay time. Moving
the COARSE Slider will move you through different ranges of delay time.
Moving the FINE Slider will give you a more exact delay time.
4. The CLIX will be active during Short Delay mode, if you do not want to hear
the CLIX, move the CLIX LEVEL Slider to its minimum position.
5. If you hit the PLAY Footswitch while in Short Delay Mode, the 16 Second will
enter Playing Mode and begin playing up to the last 4 minutes of audio that was
output by the 16 Second since starting Short Delay. If you move the LOOP
Slide Switch to either of the Loop modes you can treat this audio like any other
loop you might have recorded.
6. When you start Short Delay, the RECORDING LED will blink rapidly and
then after 4 beats go solid. When the RECORDING LED goes solid it signifies
that the 16 Second is now recording the audio that can be turned into a loop
after hitting the PLAY Footswitch.
7. You can exit Short Delay Mode and enter the following modes:
a) Hit the RECORD Footswitch and the 16 Second will enter DSP
BYPASS Mode.
b) Hit the BYPASS Footswitch and the 16 Second will enter True
Bypass Mode. The RECORDING LED will blink to the tempo.
c) Hit the PLAY Footswitch and the 16 Second will enter Playing
Mode, playing back up to the last 4 minutes that have been output by
the 16 Second, in a loop.

Connecting to a Drum Machine or MIDI Sequencer:

•
The 16 Second Delay sends out MIDI Clock at all times.
•
The MIDI Clock will be at the same tempo as the 16 Second's internal tempo
which is set by the FINE Slider.
•
The 16 Second Delay will only be a MIDI Clock Master, it cannot Slave to

MIDI Clock.

•
Here's how to connect your MIDI Drum Machine or Sequencer:
1. Connect one end of a standard MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT of the
16 Second Delay.
2. Connect the other end of the MIDI Cable to the MIDI IN of your
MIDI device.
15
3. Set your MIDI device to sync to external MIDI Clock and accept
MIDI commands.
4. When you hit the RECORD Footswitch to record a new loop, the 16
Second will send out a MIDI Start command so that the MIDI device
should begin playing automatically.
5. Whenever you hit the PLAY Footswitch to Start or Stop your loop,
the 16 Second will send out a MIDI Start and Stop command as well.

Adding Sweep to your Audio:

•
At anytime you can add the Sweep effect to your loop or delay.
•
The Sweep will not be recorded with your loop.
Electro-Harmonix
16 Second Digital Delay Software Update v2.0
- Description -
After numerous requests, Electro-Harmonix has updated the 16 Second Delay software to
include a mode that allows musicians to bypass the 4-Beat Count-In that starts every loop
of v1.0 software. Here is a list of changes included in v2.0:
•
A new mode called Non-Quantize (NQ for short) that allows the user to record
a new loop immediately upon hitting the RECORD FSW. There will be no 4-
Beat count-in.
•
When in NQ Mode, the loop length is determined by the length of time
between tapping the RECORD FSW twice or first tapping the RECORD FSW
and then the PLAY FSW. It will not quantize the loop length to the nearest beat
as it does in Quantize Mode.
•
A small improvement was made to increase the total range of the FINE Slider
to 2 Octaves + 1 step.

- Operation Notes for New Software -

Recording a Non-Quantized Loop:
1. Put the Loop Slide Switch into either "C" or "S" modes.
2. Move the COARSE Slider to its top position: >32 Bars. This puts the 16
Second into NQ mode.
