1. DELAY (One repeat sound)
This function allows a delay sound with beat of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1
or 4/1 to be added quickly and simply. For example, When a 1/2
beat delay sound is added, four beats become eight beats.
Also, by adding a 3/4 beat delay sound, the rhythm becomes
syncopated.

(8 beats)

This function allows an echo sound with beat of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1
or 4/1 to be added quickly and simply.
For example, when a 1/1 beat echo sound is used to cutoff the
input sound, a sound in synch with the beat is repeated together
with fadeout.
Also, by adding a 1/1 beat echo to the microphone, the
microphone sound repeats in synch with the music beat.
If a 1/1 beat echo is applied to the vocal portion of a track, the
song takes on an effect reminiscent of a round.
