Knob Functions - Electro-Harmonix STEREO MEMORY MAN WITH HAZARAI User Manual

ECHO Modes
The Echo modes are basic delay/echo effects with some added features:
3 SEC ECHO Mode: The DELAY knob's maximum time is 3 seconds. It is
possible, in this mode, to obtain smeared reverberant echoes and to make the
SMMH sound like a reverb. The DECAY knob adjusts between discrete echoes
like a basic echo would have and smeared reverberant echoes.
1 SEC ECHO Mode: The DELAY knob's maximum time is 1 second. In this
mode, the DECAY knob will adjust between discrete echoes and diffused
reverberant echoes.
300 mS + MOD ECHO Mode: The DELAY knob's maximum time is 300mS.
This mode gives the musician the ability to modulate the delay time. Set the
depth of modulation by turning the DECAY knob clockwise. If you set the SMMH
to have short delay times you can obtain Flanger and Chorus type sounds. With
a long delay time you will actually hear each discrete echo change its pitch from
your original note. Please note: when using modulation, use caution when the
REPEATS knob is set above 3 o'clock. The SMMH may oscillate and blow
speakers (or minds or both).

KNOB FUNCTIONS:

DECAY Knob: In 3 SEC and 1 SEC modes, the DECAY knob changes the echoes
from discrete to diffused and reverberant. As you turn the knob clockwise they
will be more reverberant. In 300 mS + MOD mode, the DECAY knob adjusts the
depth or amount of delay modulation. Turn the DECAY knob clockwise to obtain
more modulation. When set to its most CCW position the modulation will be off.
REPEATS Knob: Acts like a feedback control as seen on vintage delays and
echoes. As you turn the REPEATS knob clockwise, it will take longer for the
echoes to fade away.
DELAY Knob: Sets the Delay Time for the Echo. In 3 Sec mode the maximum
delay time is 3 seconds. In 1 Sec mode, the maximum delay time is 1 second. In
300 mS + Mod, the maximum delay time is 300 mS.

MULTI TAP Echoes
The Multi Tap echo modes allow a musician to set the exact number of delay repeats and
the relative volume of each repeat for their echo. Instead of hearing the repeats fade
away, you could set the SMMH so that it produces exactly 3 repeats and each repeat is at
the same volume. The Multi Tap modes allow the musician to set the SMMH to repeat the
echo a fixed number of times up to 30 repeats (as long as there is enough delay memory).
In addition, the SMMH can be configured so that all repeats playback at the same volume,
decrease in volume with each repeat or increase in volume with each repeat.
3 SEC MULTI TAP Mode: The DELAY knob's maximum time is 3 seconds.
1 SEC MULTI TAP Mode: The DELAY knob's maximum time is 1 second.
1 SEC + REV MULTI TAP Mode: The DELAY knob's maximum time is 1
second. Of the 8 modes, this is the only one where holding the down the TAP
footswitch does not record or overdub a loop. Instead, at the moment that one
presses the TAP footswitch, a backwards version of the dry signal will start to
play, starting with the most recent and continuing while the footswitch is held,
up to a maximum of 6 seconds. This is useful when the musician wants control
over exactly when to begin reverse playback. For example you could play and
hold a chord, after a few seconds, hold down TAP and you will hear your chord
play backwards.
KNOB FUNCTIONS:
DECAY Knob: Sets the relative volume for each repeat. Setting the DECAY knob
to the center (12 o'clock) will make each Repeat playback at equal volume.
Turning the DECAY knob counter-clockwise from the center will cause the
repeats to decrease in volume with each successive repeat. When turned to the
extreme counter-clockwise position you will only hear the first repeat. Turning
the DECAY knob clockwise from the center will cause the repeats to increase in
volume with each successive repeat.
REPEATS Knob: Sets the number of repeats from 1 (CCW) to 30 (CW).
DELAY Knob: Sets the Delay Time for the Multi Tap Echo. In 3 Sec mode the
maximum delay time is 3 seconds. In the 1 Sec and 1 Sec + Rev modes the
maximum delay time is 1 second.
