1. Turn the RATE Knob K to control the speed of the modulation The RATE Knob adjusts the modulation rate between 0 0625 and 5 0 seconds Turn the DEPTH Knob L to control how far up and down the signal is detuned The DEPTH Knob adjusts depth of the modulation waveform between zero and 50 of the current delay time Note The modulation depth is limited by the Delay Time Max As such at the minimum and maximum delay times no modulation will occur AS you move away from those limits the available modulation depth increases At very slow modulation rates you may hear some stepping If so increase the depth or modulation rate questions MoltenVoltage com 2014 MoltenVoltage com All Rights Reserved v 1 0 Molten Voltage MIDI Delaytion Owner s Manual p 5 Program Storage MIDI Delaytion is designed to make switching and storing programs as simple as possible so you can concentrate on being creative Once you have MIDI Delaytion set the way you like simply toggle the PGM Switch H down then up and the program is stored at the current program location Note Programs can also be stored upon a self programming command from the Molten Voltage MASTER CONTROL or Molten Voltage TEMPODE PedalBoard MIDI Clock Injector MIDI Delaytion stores the modulation rate and depth as well as the delay time and current delay ratio This means that when a program is recalled the knobs and switches will usually be in di2. arenan migi OWNER S MANUAL DELAY TION Congratulations on purchasing MIDI Delaytion the Analog Delay Control Station by Molten Voltage MIDI Delaytion is a programmable Analog Delay Controller designed to control the MXR Carbon Copy Malekko Ekko 616 and any other delay that uses the classic Bucket Brigade Delay BBD analog chips Note your analog delay must be modified to accept MIDI Delaytion s clock signal You can buy pre modified delays from Molten Voltage or send in yours for modification See MoltenVoltage com for more information Key Features MIDI Clock Synchronization or Manual Delay Time Control Automatically scales the delay time to stay in sync with slower MIDI Clock tempos 3 Delay Ratios dotted eighth quarter note and triplets Modulation Rate and Depth controls Program up to 128 Presets Simple to program just toggle a switch Expanded Modulation Rate and Depth Solid Professional Grade construction Simple intuitive user interface questions MoltenVoltage com 2014 MoltenVoltage com All Rights Reserved v1 0 Molten Voltage MIDI Delaytion Owner s Manual p 2 Connections Plug in a 9 volt 2 1mm 100mA minimum tip negative DC Power supply into the DC9V Power Jack C A MIDI THRU Jack CA A C D B CLOCK OUT Jack aa C DC Power Jack D MIDI IN Jack E Status LED F Delay Tempo LED G MIDI Pot Select LED H PGM Swit
