Don't feel embarassed about that... i totally missed the MASTER TUNE
SLIDER on my DSS-1, how obvious is that one...
as for the delay, it's just a digital delay line, with an LFO to
modulate DELAY TIME.
it can be used for typical delay echo effects, or chorus effects (try
shorter delay times and turn up the mod a bit) and phaser efffects
(kinda sorta maybe) and flange effects (they're all the same damn
effect! just different delay times)
just play with it!
