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. Example Original (4 beats) 1/2 delay (8 beats) 4. FLANGER In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, 1 cycle of flanger effect is produced quickly and easily. Example Short delay 1 cycle = 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat 5. PHASER In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, 1 cycle of phaser effect is produced quickly and easily. Example Phase shift 1 cycle = 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat 2. ECHO (Multiple repeat sounds) 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". Example 1 beat 1 beat Cuts input sound 3. FILTER In units of 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 8/1 or 16/1 beat, the filter frequency is moved, greatly changing the sound coloration. Example 6. ROBOT Generates a sound effect resembling that produced by a robot. 7. ROLL Sounds of 1/2, 3/4, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1 beat are recorded and output repetitively.
