Delay Block - Yamaha GW33 Owner's Manual

Delay Block

DELAY
The Delay effect allows you to add delayed, echo-like
repeats to the original sound. Subtle use of Delay helps in
creating a sense of space and depth in the sound. Delay
can also be used for special applications, such as creating
rhythmic repeats in the sound.
NOTE Since Delay is a mono effect, it is placed just
before the Modulation 1/2 blocks in the effect chain. (See
page 7.)
One convenient function of the GW33 is that it
HINT
lets you change between effect programs having similar
Delay settings without cutting off the delay sound. To
take advantage of this, the Delay Time parameters of the
respective programs must be set to the same value.
Even if the programs change from Delay ON to Delay
OFF, setting the same value for the Delay Time param-
eters will make the transition sound smoother.
NOTE Keep in mind that when you change between
effect programs having similar Delay settings, the con-
tinuing Delay sound from the previous program will be
processed with the other effect blocks of the new pro-
gram. For example, when changing from program "A" (in
which Mix is set to 0) to program "B" (in which Mix is at or
near the maximum), the Delay sound will suddenly jump
in level.
B Time Range: 10 – 90 (10 – 90 msec),
10. – 81. (100 – 810 msec)
Determines the time between delayed repeats of the main
delay. Very short delays make it possible to make one
instrument sound like two separate instruments. Slightly
longer delays can be used for creating slap-back echo or a
reverb-type effect. Longer times are used for special
effects, like creating long echoes or steady rhythmic
pulses. Since the BANK/MEMORY indicator only has
two digits, Delay Times of 100 or over are indicated by
the dot in the display. (The dot represents the final zero in
the value.)
