Programming Effects

DM PRO REFERENCE MANUAL 6 9

Tip: To match your delay time to your tempo, use your song’s tempo in “B.P.M.”

(Beats Per Minute) in the following equations:

Dotted Quarter note 90 ÷ BPM

Quarter note 60 ÷ BPM

Quarter note triplet 40 ÷ BPM

Dotted 8th note 45 ÷ BPM

Eighth note 30 ÷ BPM

8th note triplet 20 ÷ BPM

Dotted 16th note 22.5 ÷ BPM

Sixteenth note 15 ÷ BPM

16th note triplet 10 ÷ BPM

For example: A quarter note delay time @ 120 bpm would be figured as

60 ÷ 120 = .500

or 500 milliseconds (msec).

Tip: Sometimes it’s useful to have a delay with a low Feedback value land ahead or

behind the beat a little, especially if you’re matching the audio in a sampled

loop. If you want your delay to push the beat, shorten the delay time in small

increments until you find the right “pocket”. If you want it to drag, lengthen the

delay in small increments until it sounds right.

P5 The Delay FEEDBACK Parameter

This Parameter determines how long the Delay will repeat. Higher Values give you a

higher repeat count (more feedback) and lower Values give you lower repeat count

(less feedback). A Feedback Value of 00 will cause the Delay to repeat only once and

then stop.

Note that the Value represents the percentage of feedback and not

the repeat count.

To set the amount of Delay Feedback, move the cursor beneath the Value and then

turn the Value encoder to adjust the Feedback amount:

DELAY FX

Feedback: 4 0

P6 The Delay OUTPUT TO REVERB Parameter

This Parameter is not as complicated nor obscure as it sounds. Simply stated, this

Parameter allows you to send the output of the Delay Effect to the Reverb Effect. By

adding Reverb to the Delay Effect, it can move the delay further back in space and

give you increased dimension.

To set the amount of Delay Effect that is sent to the Reverb Effect, move the cursor

beneath the Value and then turn the Value encoder to adjust the Delay Output’s send

amount:

DELAY FX

1 2 ... 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 ... 174 175
