Delay (Add echoes to the sound)
Chapter 4. Applying Effects to the Sound (Effects)
Delay is an effect which adds echoes to the sound. It is effective when applied to solo phrases or to densely rhythmic phrases.
Described here is how to set the Delay effect.
Turning delay on/off
Delay is turned on by pressing [DELAY] and confirming that its indicator has lighted. To turn it off, press the button again,
extinguishing the indicator.
* This lets you turn the effect on/off for all parts regardless of other settings.
Adjusting the delay volume for individual parts
Refer to the explanation of “Part Delay Level” in “Modifying the settings of each part” (p. 19).
Making detailed settings
1. Hold down [DELAY] and press [EDIT].
* If the D-FIELD function ASSIGN 2 is set to “DELAY,” you can also access the setting screen by holding down the D-FIELD function
button [ASSIGN 2] and pressing [EDIT].
2. Press [ENTER] to select a parameter.
3. Turn [VALUE] to modify the setting.
4. When you are finished, press [EXIT].
Screen Parameter Explanation Value
TYPE Selecting the type. SHORT, LONG
TIME Adjusts the time from the original sound until
when the delayed sound is heard (the interval between
repeats).
* On the D-2, it is not possible to set a delay time
longer than 1 second. When the delay time is
synchronized to the BPM, selecting a note value
which would make the delay time exceed 1second
will cause the delay time to be halved, and the
delay sound will be heard at 1/2 the specified
interval. In addition, even if 1/2 the length would
exceed 1 second, the delay time will be shortened
to 1/4 the length.
FEEDBACK Sets the amount of delayed sound to be repeated, as
a proportion of the original sound.
HF DAMP Specifies the frequency at which the high frequency
portions of the reverberation will be cut. Lowering
this setting will cause more of the upper frequency
content to be cut, making the reverberation more
muted in tone.If this “BYPASS” is selected, the high
frequency range will not be cut.
OUTPUT Allows you to select a destination for the sound after
reverb has been applied.Selecting LINE outputs
the sound to the OUTPUT jacks on the rear panel;
selecting REV outputs it to Reverb; or selecting
LINE + REV outputs the sound to both the OUT-
PUT jacks and Reverb.
DELAY OUTPUT
LEVEL
This adjusts the volume of the delay sound for all
eight parts (the rhythm part and parts 1-7).
MFX TO DLY LEVEL Applies the Delay equally to each of the parts with
Multi-effects set at ON regardless of the Part Delay
Level for each part.
When “TYPE” is SHORT: 0.1-275 (ms)
When “TYPE” is LONG: 200 (ms)-1 (s), notes

triplets), 4. (dotted quarter note), 2 (half note)
* Parameters with an “X” or “Y” following the value will be selected when using D-FIELD to control the delay (p. 39). “X” can be controlled by moving
your finger to left and right, and “Y” by moving your finger up and down.

with the MFX switch turned off (p. 19).
