9.5 Delay Macro
A delay effect creates echoes.
It can also broaden a sound by
adding a slightly delayed copy
to the original sound (a tech-
nique often used for rock-’n’-
roll songs and in karaoke bars).
Note: You can also copy the Delay (or even all effects) settings
from another Set. See page 97.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “TYPE”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
select an effect type.
The TYPE parameter on this page is a “Macro” func-
tion, i.e. it recalls suitable preset values for all Delay
parameters on the “Delay Parameters” page. In many
instances, editing only the parameters on this page is
enough.
The available options are:
(2) Press the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select the “LEVEL”
parameter, then rotate the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to
set the Delay processor’s output volume (0~127).
The overall delay volume depends on three things:
the Send level of the various sections, the output
level of the Delay processor and the setting of the
[DELAY] knob.
If one of them is set to “0”, there will be no delay
effect. If the Send level of a section is set to “0”, the
sound of that section is not repeated. If the “LEVEL”
parameter on this page is set to “0”, the Delay pro-
cessor is effectively off for all sections. This parame-
ter is connected to the [DELAY] knob.
9.6 Delay Parameters
This page contains several
parameters that need to be
selected using the “TYPE”
entry.
(1) Press the [DATA÷ENTER]
knob to select the “TYPE” parameter, then rotate
the [DATA÷ENTER] knob to select a parameter.
Parameter Explanation
Delay 1~3 These are conventional Delays. 1, 2 and 3
have progressively longer delay times.
Delay 4 This is an effect with a rather short delay
time (a kind of “slap back” effect).
Pan Delay
1~3
The repetitions move between left and right.
This is effective when listening in stereo. “1”,
“2” and “3” have progressively longer delay
times.
Pan
Delay 4
This is a rather short delay with the echoes
moving between left and right. It is effective
when listening in stereo (a kind of stereo
“slap back” effect).
Delay >
Rev
Reverb is added to the delay sound which
moves between left and right. It is effective
when listening in stereo.
Pan Repeat The delay signal moves between the left and
right channels, yet the stereo position is dif-
ferent from the effects listed above. It is
effective when listening in stereo.
Parameter Explanation
Pre-LPF
(0~7)
A low-pass filter can be applied to the
high-frequency range before the signals
coming from the various sections are pro-
cessed by the Delay processor. Higher val-
ues make the Send signals darker,
resulting in a mellower delay sound. Note
that this parameter only applies to the
signals that are sent to the Delay proces-
sor. It does not alter the sound of the
active sections.
Level
(0~127)
This parameter sets the overall volume of
the three delay lines (center, left and
right). Higher values result in a louder
delay effect.
Time C (ms)
(0.1~1000)
The delay effect of the FR-7x allows you
to set three delay times: center (C), left (L)
and right (R). “Time C” sets the delay time
of the Delay located at the center.
Time L/R (%)
(4~500)
These parameters sets the delay time of
the left- or right-channel delay line as a
percentage of the central Delay. The value
“100%” means that the left or right delay
repeats at the same speed as the center
delay (see above).
Level C/L/R
(0~127)
These parameters set the volume of the
central, left and right delays individually,
allowing you to create the desired “mix”.
Feedback
(–64~0~+63)
This parameter specifies the number of
times the delay will repeat. If you select
“0”, the delay will not repeat. Higher val-
ues result in more repetitions. With nega-
tive (–) values, the center delay will be fed
back with inverted phase. This is especially
effective for small “Time C” values.
Dly > Rev
(0~127)
This parameter sets the amount of delay
sound that is sent to the Reverb. Higher
values mean that the echoes will be more
prominent in the reverb signal. Be careful
not to overdo this effect because it tends
to blur the sound image.
