Ducker/Delay Pages; About Ducking; Delay Page 1: Delay Time, Level - Rocktron Prophesy II User Manual

Delay is a repeat of the guitar signal, which will repeat at the time the user sets
(typically expressed in milliseconds) after the original guitar signal. The Prophesy
provides several parameters to adjust the characteristics of the delay effect.
The Delay effect also has a built-in Ducker function. The word "ducking" is
another way to say that you're turning down the volume level of the delay (or "attenuat-
ing" the delay). When using the ducker, the volume of the delay would be attenuated, or
"ducked" while playing so that it was quieter than your original played notes and,
therefore, would not compete with your played notes. When you stop playing, the ducker
will release and the volume level would then come back to full volume and echo out nice
and loud. The Ducker effect does this for you automatically! This is a great effect for
soloing. When the ducker is adjusted correctly, you can have the delay mixed just right
behind your played notes and have nice loud and long trail-offs when you stop playing.

The MUTE parameter allows for muting of the Delay section at its input (PRE),
its output (POST) or both pre and post (BOTH). (The MUTE function is
actually switching the Delay IN and OUT — just like you would with the Delay
button on the front panel. It can be accessed with a MIDI pedal by sending the
Prophesy a MIDI control number of your choice and assigning that same MIDI
control number to the DELAY-IO parameter in any of the Prophesy's eight
Controller Assignments. See "Controller Assignments" in Section 7 for more
information.)
When using the MUTE "PRE" setting, the Delay IN/OUT function will start and
stop the guitar signal before it enters the delay effect. This will produce the
following results: When you switch the delay "OUT" while you're playing, the
guitar signal will be stopped from entering the delay effect at its input and the
last few notes you were playing will trail off until there is no more delayed signal.
When switching the delay "IN", signal will begin to enter the delay effect and will
then start to be delayed from the exact point at which you turn the delay on.
