QUICK GUIDE
POWER button
Power on/off.
IN LEVEL knob
Adjusts the Input level.
MIX knob
Adjusts the global mix between
dry and wet signal. Fully clock-
wise position is 100% effect.
IN meters
The IN peak meter shows the
Input level of left and right chan-
nels.
The meter range 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 overloading.
- There is an internal DSP
overflow.
The Overload LED is lit when
1 sample is @ 0dBFS.
DELAY TIME indicator
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 accordingly.
The tempo is also indicated via
the blinking TEMPO /RHYTHM
indicator.
SUBDIVISION indicator
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 gain reduction on
the Delay Output when using
the Dynamic Delay algorithm.
EDITED icon
This icon will be lit as soon as
the current recalled preset has
been modified.
FACTORY/USER icon
Shows whether you are
operating in the Factory or the
User bank.
MIDI IN icon
Indicates the presence of
incoming MIDI information.
SAMPLE RATE indicator
The SAMPLE RATE indicator
shows the clock source and the
incoming master clock.
The icons 44.1 and 48kHz will
be blinking if no clock or
unacceptable clock is found.
FEEDBACK %
The amount of level fed back to
the delay line.
FEEDBACK #
The number of repeats
allowed.
FB FILTER LEDS
Indicates the Feedback High
and Low Cut filter setting.
FILTER LEDS
Indicates the overall High and
Low Cut filter setting.
PING PONG LEDS
Indicates the panning carried
out.

DELAY/TAP key
This key has two functions.
- When the DELAY key LED is
lit, the DELAY wheel changes
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
according to the selected
subdivision.
FEEDBACK/RHYTHM key
This key has three functions.
- When the LED is lit the
DELAY wheel is changing
the Feedback level or %.
- When the key is pressed and
held, the DELAY wheel changes
the number of repeats.
- Tap a rhythm pattern of up to
10 taps.
DELAY & FEEDBACK wheel
Sets the Delay time or Feedback
depending on what is selected.
SPATIAL key
Enables/disables the Spatial
function. Double click shortcuts to
the Spatial parameters.
Options are:
- Left channel offset +/-200ms.
- Phase reverse any channel.
RECALL key
Selects the Recall menu.
SETUP key
Enters the Setup menu.
This is where all I/O and
global parameters are located.
STORE key
Selects the Store menu. Presets can
be stored in the User bank only.
Location is selected using the
CONTROL wheel. Operation is
confirmed using ENTER.
CURSOR UP/DOWN keys
Are used to move the cursor around
in the display.
CONTROL wheel
Is used to change values.
ENTER key
Confirms operations.
BYPASS key
Bypasses the unit. There are three
different Bypass modes.
1 Mix 0%: Signal is bypassed
directly to the Output.
2 Fx Input: Input bypass letting the
effects ring out.
3 Fx Output: Kills the effect but
keeps the direct signal level.
The Bypass mode is selected in
the Setup menu.
FILTER key
Enables/disables the Filter
functions. Double click shortcuts
to the Hi and Lo cut filter
parameters.
CHORUS key
Enables/disables the Chorus.
Double click shortcuts to the
