How to Use Delay Times

Delay times synchronized to your track's BPM create rhythmic echoes that enhance your music. Here's how to use them:

  • Normal values create echoes that land exactly on beat divisions
  • Dotted values (1.5x normal) create a "ping-pong" or shuffle feel
  • Triplet values (2/3 normal) create a swinging, waltz-like rhythm

Use 1/4 note delays for obvious rhythmic echoes, 1/8 or 1/16 for subtle thickening, and 1/32 for reverb-like effects.
