Stereo Delay 
Stereo delay operates similarly to Mono delay only in true stereo.  
The maximum delay time is half that available to Mono delay. 
 
A.  Delay Time   
This is the amount of time that the delay waits 
before regenerating the sound. 
Range:   
1 ms – 340 ms, or x1 (quarter 
note) – x16 (64
th
 note) when Sync is set to 
“follow tempo”  
 
Note:  Quarter note delays at 120 BPM (or slower) cannot be 
heard because the delay is greater than 340 ms. 
 
B.  Regeneration Percentage 
This is the volume of every regeneration relative to 
the volume of the regeneration that preceded it.  At 
zero, a “slapback” effect occurs–the original signal is 
repeated just once. 
Range: 
0 – 100% 
 
C.  Brightness 
As the delayed signal decays over time, it is often 
advantageous to “darken” the sound by 
progressively removing more and more high 
frequencies with each regeneration.  100% 
represents no reduction in brightness.  
Range: 
0 – 100%  
 
D.  Sync 
The delay can either follow the Micron’s tempo or 
can occur according to a fixed number of 
milliseconds.  When “follow tempo” is selected, the 
Delay Time parameter is displayed as a multiple of 
the Tempo. 
Range: 
fixed time, follow tempo
