INTRODUCTION

Congratulat ons on the purchase of your new DTWO Mult -tap Rhythm Delay.

The DTWO Multi-tap Rhythm Delay is an easy to use, hi h quality di ital Delay unit.

When it comes to Delay effects we are convinced that with this unit you are well

covered. This applies for live-sound production as well as in the studio. The DTWO

covers not only all the traditional Delay functions, but also a few brand new ones.

With traditional Delay units it is enerally only possible to control Feedback and

Level on a specified fixed Delay time. With the DTWO you are now able to tap

actual rhythm patterns consistin of up to 10 taps directly into the unit. Many will

reco nize the TC 2290 studio Delay unit as the Delay unit that introduced the

Dynamic Delay function. A function that allows the Delay Output level to be actively

altered by the dynamics of the Input level. A function that can be used to leave the

source material clear and undisturbed while played and delicately accompanied by

the Delay between phrases. Yes, this feature is also available in the DTWO.

We hope you will have as much pleasure usin the DTWO as we had makin it.

IN LEVEL knob

Adjusts the Input level.

At center position a relay will

switch the Input circuit between

consumer and pro level. This will

insure optimal Input ain ran e

and superb si nal to noise ratio

is achieved.

MIX knob

Adjusts the lobal mix between

dry and wet si nal. Fully clock-

wise position is 100% effect.

IN meters

The IN Peak meter shows the

Input level of left and ri ht

channels. The meter ran e is:

0, -3, -6 ,-12, -18, -24, -40dB.

OVERLOAD LEDS

The OVERLOAD LEDs indicate

one of two situations:

- The Input level is too hot and

therefore overloadin .

- There is an internal DSP

overflow.

The Overload LED is lit when

1 sample is @ 0dBFS.

DELAY TIME nd cator

The DELAY TIME indicator can

display Delay time in either

ms (milliseconds) or BPM

(Beats Per Minute). This is

selected in Setup. The ms or

the BPM icon next to the Delay

time will be lit accordin ly.

The tempo is also indicated via

the blinkin TEMPO /RHYTHM

indicator.

SUBDIVISION nd cator

The selected subdivision

determines the recalculation of

the tapped tempo. Example:

At 120BPM you tap 1/4 notes.

The tapped time equals 500ms.

If the Subdivision is set to 1/8,

the DTWO now recalculates

the Delay time to 250ms.

DYNAMIC meter

Indicates the ain reduction on

the Delay Output when usin

the Dynamic Delay al orithm.

EDITED con

This icon will be lit as soon as

the current recalled preset has

been modified.

FACTORY/USER con

Shows whether you are

operatin in the Factory or the

User bank.

The SAMPLE RATE indicator

shows the clock source and the

incomin master clock.

The DI icon will be blinkin if

no clock or unacceptable clock

the Delay line. Indicates the

Decay time of the Delay

repeats.

DELAY/TAP key

This key has two main functions:

- When the DELAY key LED is

lit, the DELAY wheel chan es

the Delay time when dialed.

- When the key is tapped the

DTWO measures the time

between the last two taps and

the Delay time is calculated

accordin to the selected

subdivision.

FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key

This key has three main functions:

- When the LED is lit the

DELAY wheel is chan in

held, the DELAY wheel chan es

the number of repeats.

- Tap a rhythm pattern of up to

10 taps.

DELAY & FEEDBACK wheel

Sets the Delay time or Feedback

dependin on what is selected.

SPATIAL key

Options are:

- Left channel offset +/-200ms.

- Phase reverse any channel.

THE DTWO DISPLAY

Delay T me

The DELAY TIME indicator displays the main Delay time in

either ms or BPM (beats per Minute= 60/ms*1000). When

in Rhythm mode, the DELAY TIME indicator, displays the

total time of the full pattern, or the total number of subdivi-

sions in the current Rhythm pattern.

Tempo Ind cator

The Tempo indicator is blinkin at the current tempo

(BPM/ms).

Rhythm Icon

The Rhythm icon is lit when the DTWO is in Rhythm mode.

Subd v

Shows the current Subdivision bein used.

Tap the beat in 1/4 notes and the DTWO will recalculate

the Delay time in accordance to the Subdivision. In Rhythm

mode the Subdivision sets the Quantization rid.

Example

Tap 500ms (120 BPM measured in 1/4notes) with the

Subdivision set to 1/8. The DTWO recalculates the Delay

time to 250ms. To set the recalculated Delay time press

EDIT and use the CURSOR keys to select the Delay time

parameter.

Dyn

The Dynamics meter indicates the amount of ain

reduction on the Output of the DTWO, when the Dynamic

Delay time is active.

Preset Number

These three seven se ments will display the current

preset. The icons below will indicate whether it is Factory

or User presets.

Ed ted

This icon will be lit as soon as the current preset has been

modified but not yet stored.

Factory/User

Shows whether you are operatin in the Factory or User

bank.

MIDI In

Shows incomin MIDI information.

DI 44.1/48 Icon

Indicates whether the DTWO is locked to an external clock

or not. When locked to an external clock the incomin

Sample Rate is displayed by either the 44.1 or 48 icon.

If the clock is unacceptable or no clock is available, the

"DI" indicator will be blinkin .

ms Icon

The ms icon is lit when the 4 di its show the Delay time

in milliseconds.

BPM Icon

The BPM icon is lit when the 4 di its show the Delay time

in Beats per Minute.

Feedback %

Indicates the amount of level fed back to the Delay line,

thus controllin the Decay of the Delay repeats.

Feedback #

Indicates the number of repeats allowed. Unlike the

Feedback parameter in most other Delay units this para-

meter lets you decide exactly how many repeats you want.

The maximum number of controlled taps is 10.

FB F lter

Indicates the Feedback Hi h Cut and Low Cut filter settin .

At times a too precise/clear Delay can disturb the music

instead of complementin it. Try reducin the hi hs of the

Delay by addin a Hi h Cut filter. This will simulate a more

analo /softer feelin .

F lter

Indicates the overall Hi h Cut and Low Cut filter settin .

P ngPong

Indicates the currently selected type of pannin . The Pin

Pon effect occurs when the Pannin Speed is synced to

the Delay time.
