Fx2 Effects - Alesis Micron Reference Manual

FX2 Effects

The Effects 2 module provides six different delay and
reverberation effects. You can choose to use any one of these
effects.
Mono Delay
Delay takes the original signal, waits a specified period of time, and
then plays it back, over and over.
Mono delay sums the Micron's input to mono before applying the
delay effect. The result is a less complex but more "focused"
sound.
Mono delay allows for a maximum delay time that is twice as long
as that used by stereo delay and L/R delay.
A. Delay Time
This is the amount of time that the delay waits
before regenerating the sound.
Range:
note) – x16 (64
"follow tempo"
B. Regeneration Percentage
This is the volume of every regeneration relative to
the volume of the regeneration that preceded it. At
zero, a "slapback" effect occurs–the original signal is
repeated just once.
Range:
C. Brightness
As the delayed signal decays over time, it is often
advantageous to "darken" the sound by
progressively removing more and more high
frequencies with each regeneration. 100%
represents no reduction in brightness.
Range:
D. Sync
The delay can either follow the Micron's tempo or
can occur according to a fixed number of
milliseconds. When "follow tempo" is selected, the
Delay Time parameter is displayed as a multiple of
the Tempo.
Range:
1 ms – 680 ms, or x1 (quarter
note) when Sync is set to
