DELAY

Delay is an effect that adds one or more delayed "echoes" to the
sound. The delay effect of the ES-1
This feeds the delayed L and R signal back into the opposite side
to produce a greater feeling of spaciousness from left to right.
You can record delay knob movements as a Motion Sequence, or
use the effect as a Tempo Delay.

The delay ef fect will apply to the entire rhythm pattern, and it
is not possible to change the ef fect independently for each
part.
MOTION SEQ (motion sequence)
This is the delay motion sequence (☞p.41 "Motion Sequence").
Each time you press the key, the setting will alternate between
on (lit) and off (dark).
BPM SYNC
This allows the delay time to be automatically synchronized to
the tempo of the pattern. Each time you press the key, the set-
ting will alternate between on (lit) and off (dark). When the
MIDI Clock setting is Ext, the delay time can also be synchro-
nized to the clock of an external device (☞p.53 "Synchronizing
the ES-1 II and an external MIDI device (MIDI Clock)")
mk
DEPTH
Adjusts the level of the delay sound and the amount of feed-
back (the number of delay repeats).
Rotating the knob toward the right will increase the level of
the delay sound, and will also increase the amount of feed-
back.
The further left or right the Pan of each part is set, the more
the sound will be spread to left and right.
Raising the Depth excessively may cause the sound to
distort (clip).
TIME (delay time)
Specifies the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the right
will lengthen the delay time. Rotating the knob toward the
left to shorten the delay time will produce a "doubling" effect
(an impression as though multiple instruments are playing
in unison).
When BPM SYNC is "on", this parameter will let you set the
tempo in terms of sixteen different multiples of the tempo:
1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, 1.33, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.
If you change the delay time during playback, the pitch
of the delayed sound will change.
Depending on the tempo setting, it may be impossible
to set the delay time. In such cases, set the delay time
to half the desired value.
If the T ime value is lowered excessively , the sound may
distort (clip).

II is a "cross-feedback delay."

Length, Scale/Beat settings

You can set the length (the length of the entire pattern) and the
basic beat (time signature).
The Length and Scale/Beat you specify here will affect the corre-
spondence between step keys and note values, and the maximum
number of steps as shown in the following diagram.
If Scale/Beat is set to "tri" ( 3 x 12) or "tr2" ( 3 x 12), step keys 13--
16 will have no effect.
While the SHIFT key is held down, the upper line of select LEDs
(green) will indicate the length of the current pattern, and the lower
line of select LEDs (red) will indicate the beat.
