This enables delay effect finely synchronizing with the thythum machine you use. Also, by holding the soune you lke, it ean bbe used as external sound source for the rhythm machine Examples [A Synchronization with 2 Rhythm machine ‘You can obtain the Delay effect that finely matches the programmed rhythm, @ Connect the Rhythm Sync Jack to the Trigger Out Jack of the rhythm machine Then the internal system will autometically set the range ro MAX [640 ms) regardiess of the position of the Delay Time Range Control on the front Pane! @ Set the Delay Time Fine Control to MAX (x 1.0), @ If you are to play quick tempo quarter notes or fighth to 16th notes, set the Mode Switch to x 1, ‘end for slow tempo quarter notes or hal! to whole Fotes, set it to x 2, Be sure that the trigger cycle (does not exceed the maximum delay time, @ If the feedback ievel is set to MIN, you obtain the single delay that is one note slower thn the trigger rote set in the rhythm mschine. If the fesdback level i set to higher, echoes will be repeated at the same timing a8 the set note, {If ie set to quarter note, echoes will be repeated in quarter ote interval, and if set to eighth note, in such aninterval.) ® Icrogular repetition of echo effects can be obtain- fed by setting regular rhythm in the rhythm machine, Also, Hf you have written rhythm patterns in & programmable rhythm machine, the ‘echo effect can be automatically varied, (Preset Memory of Gelay Time} 'S. 0.

(That is, you can move an octeve up or down by Change: ing the Mode Switch.) Set the Feedback Level Contro} to MIN if record: ing just ones, and set to MAX for overdubbing ® During sampling (recording), stop the rhythm machine, The Foot Switch serves as 9 recording start switch, so press the pedal 10 the sound 10 be recorded in @ right timing. (If you press it toe late, the head of the sound will, be missed out, and if t00 early, silence will be interfered, there. fore there will be no chythm synchronization possible.) Repest the same procedure for over dubbing, © | recording has been completed, turn on the Hold Switch on the front panel of the DE-200, (Now it is turned to the playback mode) Press: ing the Foot Switch once asain will playback the recorded sound. If the recording is proved Uunsetisfactory, turn the Hold Switch off and strat from the bepinning, © If the recording is done satistctory, start the ‘ythm machine, the recorded sound source will play along with the programmed shythm pattern @ With the Delay Time Fine Control and the Mode and Meduiation Switches, you can alter the pitch and the tone color, and put vibrate effect. ‘< Notes for Rhythm Syne > * Basically, the trigger cycle should be set within the maximum delay time, but if it happens to ‘exceed it, it sounds like the delay time of such length, * Plugging into the Rhythm Syne Jack will auto- rmaticaliy turn the DE-200 to the Ahythm Syne mode, Thus, delay effect is not obtained unies ‘rigger signal is input. In the Rhythm Syne mode, Deley Time Range is automatically set to 6d0ms, therefore, the Delay Range Switch in the from panel does pot work, ‘The Delay Time Fine Control, however, works 2 usual * The DE-200 does not adopt Battery Backup but Dynamic Memory, so the sound you have recorded will be retained only vine the unit is turned on, but erased on turning it off.Frequency Characteristic Frequency Characteristic in "X1"" mode (with the Delay Time Fine Control set 10 "X0.5") | T T T T 1 i TT | I | { i on | i | ae | ! + + I i 1 1 il an TT nT = Lui | {i ill Sn a a aS Frequency Characteristic in “X2" X05") T TWh TH | ut LE ull | | | | PN} | | ] TN eee) Lift | | Tit jeeelee| TTT LTH | Loti | i ge ae ae Frequency Characteristic in Bypass mode. | | yi Hy} | io I 4 TT ieeeta| | | yt | It I I TT | T 7 | f | | L | | Lt!
