DELAY MODES
How to set up the Straight mode
Set the FEEDBACK # to anything between 1 and 10 by
pressing and holding the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key while
dialing the DELAY wheel. The DTWO is now in the
Straight mode.
Max. Delay time
Due to the multitap Delay strategy, the maximum Delay
time available is scaled with the number of specified taps,
e.g. if you have 10 repeats you will have 1000ms available
on each tap, while 5 repeats would give you 2000ms on
each tap.
The maximum Delay time in total is:
In Stereo mode: 5 sec. Delay time.
In Mono mode: 10 sec. Delay time.
Stereo/Mono is selected in the SETUP menu.
The Parameters
The Straight Delay mode allows you to control the exact
number of repeats and additionally offers the ability to add
shuffle feel to the Delay repeats.
Delay Time
Tap the DELAY/TAP key, or press the DELAY/TAP key
once and dial the DELAY wheel to change the basic
Delay time. The maximum tap time pr. tap is 2000ms.
Feedback Level
Hit (one time only) the FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key and use
the DELAY wheel to change the Decay of the repeats.
A 100% setting will leave every repeat at maximum level.
Straight Delay Mode
The Straight Delay mode, utilizes a feedback strategy that
gives you all the normal controls of a Delay and on top of
that, the ability to control the exact number of repeats.
Instead of a traditional feedback loop, the Straight mode
uses a multitap strategy.

Additional Effects
To the Traditional Delay mode the effects described below
can be added:
Please see detailed description on the following pages.
Spatial:
Gives the Delay a wider feeling either by using left channel
offset or Phase Reverse of left, right or both channels.
Filter:
Enables a High and a Low Cut filter in the Feedback loop
and in the actual Delay line.
Chorus:
Adds Chorus, to smooth the Delay repeats.
Dynamic:
A ducking function that reduces the Output level of the
Delay with a specified level when the Input signal
exceeds a certain Threshold.
PingPong:
The PingPong effect is not available in the Traditional
mode.
