Delays

DlyTap Delay · Feedback · Tempo · HF Damping

A delay plays the sound again later: once for a slap, again and again with feedback. The K2700's delays count in beats of the tempo, so the echoes stay in time: 0.5 beats an eighth note, 1 beat a quarter. Each echo can be darker than the last, and the two sides can repeat at different times.

WHAT TO KNOW

THE TIME

Tap and loop times are in beats of the tempo, the System's 120 BPM unless the chain names its own: at 120 BPM a beat is 500 ms. A time too long for the delay's memory is halved.

FEEDBACK

Feedback sends each echo back in: 20 % gives two or three repeats, 50 % a long trail. HF Damping takes the highs from every pass.

USE IT FOR

Width (a slap of 10 to 40 ms), rhythm (taps on the beat or dotted), space (a long, dark trail under a pad).

WATCH OUT

Echoes on the beat hide under the next notes: a dotted time (0.75 beats) or a time per side sets them apart. Keep the delay's wet low on busy parts.

IN THE FACTORY PROGRAMS

604 programs play a delay switched in: St Chorus+Delay (its delay) in 362, 4-Tap Delay BPM in 193, Chorus+Delay (its delay) in 32. The commonest time is 1 beat.
