Chapter 2. Using Effects
: These effects will be limited if Effect Limit mode (p. 19) is on.
The
symbol in the CTRL 1–3 columns indicates the parameters whose depth will be limited.
*1
: For the time parameter (Delay Time), the value is specified in note-value units based on the current tempo for the length of the longest sample
to which the effect is applied.
Available note values:
32nd note (t32) / 16th note (t16) / 8th note triplet (t8t) / dotted 16th note (t16.) / 8th note (t8) / quarter note triplet (t4t) /
dotted eighth note (t8.) / quarter note (t4) / half note triplet (t2t) / dotted quarter note (t4.) / half note (t2) / dotted half note (t2.) /
whole note (t1)
However, you cannot choose a setting that would cause the delay time to exceed approximately 2000 ms.
While a pattern is playing, the pattern tempo will be used.
