About the delay time
TM RATIO (Time Ratio)
For delay effects, the actual delay time will be the delay time multiplied by 
the “TM RATIO.”
For example,
• If “BPM SYNC”: Off, “L DELAY”: 0800ms, “R DELAY”: 0400 ms, and “TM 
RATIO”: 50%, then the actual delay time will be 400 ms in the left channel 
and 200 ms in the right channel.
• If “BPM SYNC”: On, “L DELAY”:  1/4, “R DELAY”:  1/8, and “TM RATIO”: 
50%, then the actual delay time will be an eighth note in the left channel 
and a sixteenth note in the right channel.
Delay time when BPM SYNC is Off
If “BPM SYNC” is Off, you’ll be able to set the delay time in msec units.
If the specified delay time multiplied by the “TM RATIO” would 
exceed the allowable range, a 
indication will appear at the right of 
the “TM RATIO” and the delay time value, and the delay time will be 
set to the maximum possible value.
Delay time when BPM SYNC is On
If “BPM SYNC” is On, the delay time will synchronize with the tempo speci-
fied by the [TEMPO] knob (or by an external MIDI clock). Since the tempo 
will follow the arpeggiator, this is useful for a live performance.
If “BPM SYNC” is On, you’ll be able to set the delay time as a note value.
For example,
• If “BPM SYNC”: On, “TM RATIO”: 100%, L DELAY”:   1/8, and “R DELAY 
BASE NOTE”:  3/16, then the delay time will be an eighth note in the left 
channel and a dotted eighth note in the right channel.
If the specified delay time multiplied by the “TM RATIO” would 
exceed the allowable range, a 
 indication will appear at the right of 
the “TM RATIO,” and the delay time will be set to one half of the set-
ting. If this would still exceed the maximum possible value, the delay 
time will be further shorted to 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, and so on.
