The Effects Menus

To complement the front panel controls in the Effects section, there are
many other functions located within the Effects Menus. These are select-
ed by pressing the keypad '6' button a when a Menu is selected.
The Effects Menus comprise of seven separate sub-Menus (one for each
different type of effect available). The actual sub-Menu accessed will be
determined by whichever Effect type is currently selected by the SELECT
buttons within the Effects / Arp / Hypersync Section.
In an Effect sub-Menu, it is also possible at any time, to switch instantly to
a new sub-Menu relating to a different effect, simply by selecting the
effect using the Effects SELECT buttons.
The Effects Menus - The Delay Menu
The Delay Menu
The comprehensive Delay effects processor has many programmable
functions. These may be edited to create the desired delay effect for a
particular sound and saved along with the sound. Use the PERF / PROG /
PAGE up/down buttons to scroll through the Menu functions available -
See table below.

Time (Menu Page 1)
Controls the amount of time it takes for the delayed signal to be heard
after the original signal.
Feedback (Menu Page 2)
Controls how much of the delayed signal is fed back into the delay input.
No feedback produces a slapback echo effect, just one delayed sound
with no repeats. Small amounts of feedback produce repeated sounds
resulting in a multiple echo effect. Large amounts of feedback produces
infinite echoes.
Stereo Width (Menu Page 3)
This sets the Stereo spread between the long and short Delay times. With
a width setting of zero, both delays appear in the middle of the stereo field
(Mono). At maximum width setting, the longer delay will appear on one
output and the shorter on the other, producing a dramatic stereo effect.
Delay Ratios
Left / Right Time Ratio (Menu Page 4)
Automatically adjusts the ratio of the longest delay time and the shorter
delay time into timings that are musically useful.
Use the PERF / PROG / DATA knob to select the most suitable ratio. A
Simple, equal 1 to 1 ratio is the first entry in the table. This setting sends
a delay of equal time to the left and right output channels. The number in
the left column of the table indicates the ratio of the delay time that will be
in the left channel versus the number in the right column.
For example, if a delay of twice the time is required in the left channel
compared to the right, select the 2/1 option. The final 1/OFF and OFF/1
options will result in no delay being heard in the channel indicated by the
'OFF'.
Note: Selecting a 1/1 ratio will produce a mono effect regardless of the
Stereo width setting since the timing of the echos are equal.
Wheel Level (Menu Page 5)
Sets how much the movement of a Master keyboard's Modulation wheel
will introduce the delay effect.
