Adding Echo/Delay
Figure 226. MFX Echo/Delay
The Echo Delay command creates a series of repeating echoes of each note. The echo notes can
decrease or increase in velocity, and can be transposed from the original by regular intervals.
The parameters used to specify the echo/delay effect are as follows:
Parameter/Option Meaning
Decay (%) The reduction in velocity with each echo. A value greater than 100% indicates
an increase in velocity.
No. Echoes The number of echo notes for each original note. If the velocity reaches 0
before the specified number of echoes, the effect generates no more echo
notes.
Delay The delay between successive echo notes.
Delay Units The units used to specify the delay. You may specify delay in ticks, in
milliseconds, or as a note duration.
Tap The delay you specify by tapping the control with the mouse.
Swing (%) The distortion of timing used to produce a swing feel to the echo. A value of 0%
indicates a straight rendition; negative and positive values produce distortion of
the timing grid. For more information about swing, see “Swing” on page 698.
Pitch (Steps) The number of steps to transpose each echo note from the previous. You can
specify a Diatonic or Chromatic scale.
