Adding An Echo Effect (Delay) - Roland JP-8080 Owner's Manual

Adding an Echo Effect (Delay)

Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound. The set-
tings of the DELAY section affect how the delay sound is
heard. You can also select the type of delay in the
[PATCH](BANK[4]) setting in the lower line of the display.
[LEVEL]
Specify the amount of the delay sound relative to the origi-
nal (undelayed) sound. As the knob is rotated toward the
right, the delay sound will become louder.
[TIME]
Specify the time (interval between delays) from when a key
is pressed to play a sound until when the delayed sound is
heard. As the knob is rotated toward the right, the time will
become longer.

Delay Time
* It is also possible to synchronize the Delay Time to the
MIDI Clock messages from a sequencer, etc. For details
refer to "Synchronizing Delay Time to the Tempo (Delay
Sync)" (p.119), and "Synchronizing Chorus, Delay, LFO
1, Ensemble or Voice Modulator Delay" (p.144).
[FEEDBACK]
Specify the amount of feedback for the delayed sound; i.e.,
the way in which the delayed sounds will gradually dimin-
ish over time. With small amounts of feedback, the delayed
sounds will diminish quickly after you release the key. As
the knob is rotated toward the right, the feedback will
increase, and the delayed sounds will diminish over a
longer interval after you release the key.

Changing the type of delay (Delay Type)
The type of delay can be changed as appropriate for the
sound or song that you are playing. The JP-8080 provides 5
types of delay.
PANNING L->R: The delayed sound is assigned to left and
right in the order of left -> right.
PANNING R->L: The delayed sound is assigned to left and
right in the order of right -> left.
PANNING SHORT: The delayed sound is assigned to left
and right in the order of right -> left. The delay time is 1/4
of PANNING L->R/R->L.
MONO SHORT: The delayed sound is assigned to the cen-
ter. The delay time is the same as PANNING SHORT.
MONO LONG: The delayed sound is assigned to the center.
The delay time is twice that of PANNING L->R/R->L.
* The delay time will differ depending on the delay type.
When [TIME] is rotated fully toward the right, the delay
time for each delay type will be as follows.
• MONO LONG= 1250 ms (1.25 seconds)
• PANNING L->R/R->L= 625 ms
• PANNING SHORT, MONO SHORT= 156 ms
* In the following cases, the panning delay effect cannot
be obtained.
• When the sound is being sent from the output jacks in
MONO.
• When Output Assign (p.115) is set to PARALLEL OUT.
